Abstract

In a fuel control system for an engine equipped with fuel injectors, a method where the fuel injector is fired to fuel its cylinder, relative to the cylinder's valve events, more than once per cycle if a throttle transient has occurred and caused the original firing of the fuel injector to be less than the fuel amount now required by the new engine operating conditions.
