Abstract

A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine of the type wherein the lengths of fuel injection pulses (t.sub.i) are based on engine load signals (TL) developed from a measurement of intake manifold pressure (p) and wherein compensation is provided for the fuel injection signals during transitions between different dynamic operating conditions. Transition compensation for the inlet manifold pressure values representative of engine load is achieved by modifying the pressure values in dependence upon incremental pressure differences (.DELTA.p). The pressure difference values (.DELTA.p) used for this purpose can themselves be modified by other engine-dependent factors (F.sub.1, F.sub.2) when the measured incremental manifold pressure differences (.DELTA.p) exceed predetermined thresholds.
