Engines are, for example, customarily provided with an oil pressure gauge and water temperature gauge and in some cases with other in- dicators as well, Where these devices are purely indicators, avoidance of en- gine damage depends on the operator’ alertness and willingness to take such corrective action as is needed. Greater reliability is obtained if the control system acts auto- ‘matically o shut down the engine when any of the several un- safe conditions develop. In certain engine usages, such as in highway vehicles, automatic shutdown may not be desitable in that the traffic hazard created by an unexpected stoppage of a vehicle can be more serious than the risk of engine damage. This is not necessarily true of many other engine applications such as in off-highway vehicles used for earthworking pur- poses or in stationary engines. In many ofthese engines, it has been the practice to provide for automatic shutdown, ‘An engine having an electrical ignition system is readily shut down by opening the ignition circuit. Shutdown of certain other forms of engine, such as those of the diesel variety, is more complicated asi is necessary to apply a sizable force to 2 fuel supply control member which is usually located in the engine governor. This is generally accomplished with a sole- noid which requires a sizable current. Because of the current requirements ofthe solenoid, it has heretofore been necessary to use engine monitoring devices which are complicated by adaptations for handling high current or else to provide duplicate sensors which are separate from the operator's ‘warning devices. Still further factors have contributed to an undesirable
