Abstract
Techniques and controllers are described for dynamically determining when to request firing decisions for individual firing opportunities while operating an internal combustion engine in a skip fire mode. In one aspect, a skip fire controller is arranged to periodically determine the timing by which a next cylinder firing decision request must be made in order to assure that a corresponding firing decision can be implemented as desired, and whether there is sufficient time to wait until at least the next periodic timing determination is made to request the next cylinder firing decision. When there is not sufficient time to wait, a firing decision request is made and the corresponding working cycle is either skipped or fired based on the received firing decision. When there is sufficient time to wait, the firing decision request is delayed until at least the next periodic timing determination is made.
