[0019] figure 2 is a flowchart of an example method of suppressing diesel engine emissions during acceleration or load increase transients utilizing the electronic fuel injection timing system discussed further herein. A diesel engine may be a medium speed, high emission engine such as those used in train locomotives or marine vessels. As previously mentioned, diesel engines often experience frequent acceleration and / or load-increasing transient conditions. Changes to engine speed and / or load conditions for such engines may be requested directly by the engine operator through throttle selection inputs defined by desired engine RPM and horsepower levels. Commands to increase engine speed and / or load may be initiated by an operator or automatically through a series of engine sensors and actuators. For example, when an operator desires to increase engine speed and / or power, an appropriate signal representing the requested increase in speed and / or power would command the fuel i...
