Abstract

An engine control system generates a manifold pressure demand signal from an engine output demand signal provided by an accelerator pedal position transducer or a cruise control. The manifold pressure demand signal is compared with the actual inlet manifold pressure and the difference used to control an engine throttle and a turbocharger by means of a waste gate.
