Abstract:
1. A control system for an engine having at least one manifold, a throttle, and a crank wheel, the system comprising: a pressure sensor to measure a pressure in the at least one manifold and generate a pressure signal representing the pressure measured; a throttle position sensor to measure a position of the throttle of the engine and generate a throttle signal representing the position of the throttle measured; a revolution sensor to measure a rate of rotation of the crank wheel of the engine and generate a rotation signal representing the rate of rotation measured; a processor in communication with each of the pressure sensor, the throttle position sensor, and the revolution sensor to receive the pressure signal, the throttle signal, and the rotation signal, analyze the pressure signal, the throttle signal, and the rotation signal based upon an instruction set, and generate a control signal in response to analysis of the pressure signal, the throttle signal, and the rotation signal, wherein the instruction set includes a means to determine an inferred pressure based upon the position of the throttle measured and the rate of rotation of the crank wheel measured; and an engine system in communication with the processor to receive the control signal therefrom, the engine system responsive to the control signal to control a function of the engine system.
