摘要:
@ An angle of an ignition timing for a specific cylinder is gradually advanced. A comparison is made between the previous output of a knock detection circuit for the cylinder having its angle advanced and the present output thereof by a comparator (107). The comparator (107) evaluates an occurrence of a knock when an output signal therefrom changes drastically. The signal (111) from the comparator (107) rewrites the knock evaluation reference value in each cylinder written in the memory (108). When an output from the knock sensor (101) is larger than that of the memory (108), an ignition timing retard angle signal is output from the comparator (109). As a result, the apparatus of the present invention can control ignition timing without errors due to the deterioration with age or manufacturing errors, as it can correct knocking detection sensibility of the apparatus.

摘要:
In an air-fuel ratio control apparatus for controlling the air-fuel ratio of an engine (1) in accordance with the output of an O2 sensor (3), in response to the starting of the engine (1) the output voltage of the 0 2 sensor (3) is sampled at intervals of a unit time. The slope of the output voltage waveform of the O 2 sensor (3) is computed from the successively sampled values. The computed value is compared with a predetermined value indicative of a slope value attained when the 0 2 sensor (3) is activated and thus it is considered that the O 2 sensor (3) is activated when the computed value is greater than the predetermined value.
