Classification: CPC F | IPC F

Claim 10:
11. An engine control system comprising:
a computer;
a crankshaft sensor associated with a crankshaft toothed wheel; and
a “True Power On” (TPO)-type camshaft sensor associated with the camshaft toothed wheel as claimed in claim 7,
wherein the crankshaft toothed wheel and the camshaft toothed wheel are angularly set such that a marker (GAP) of the crankshaft toothed wheel is arranged at a first position corresponding to a space between the first recessed part and a next first edge of the camshaft toothed wheel, and/or at a second position corresponding to a space between the first tooth and a next first edge of the camshaft toothed wheel, and
wherein the computer comprises an engine synchronization algorithm adapted to recognize sequences formed by the series of teeth and the respective recessed parts of the camshaft toothed wheel, and to compare the sequences to the marker (GAP) of the crankshaft toothed wheel so as to determine an engine position in real time.
