This patent describes a method for controlling the fuel supply of an internal combustion engine having a throttle valve in an intake air system comprising the steps of: detecting that an angular position of a crankshaft of the engine as in coincidence with a predetermined crankshaft angular position; detecting, at each detection of the coincidence, a pressure in an intake air passage downstream of the throttle valve; and an engine rotating speed of the engine or a value in inverse proportion to the engine rotating speed on the basis of an interval between the detections of the predetermined crankshaft angular position.
