PURPOSE:To prevent fuel overrichness from occurring without fail, by controlling less fuel than a fuel quantity to be set according to a driving state so as to be fed for injection in the case where a sudden decrement state in charging efficiency and an engine speed stable state in an internal combustion engine both are detected. CONSTITUTION:At the time of driving an internal combustion engine 1 provided with a supercharger 2, first of all, charging efficiency GR in suction air is found at an electronic control circuit 14 inputting each detection signal out of driving state detecting sensors including a turning angle sensor 21, an air flow meter 26, etc. This charging efficiency GR is found as the ratio between weight of the fresh air inhaled in a cylinder 20 under the atmosphereic state and weight of the fresh air accounted for stroke volume under the standard atmospheric state. And, When the charging efficiency GR is more than the specified rate and more than the specified time as well as when a sudden decrement state in load to be varied from the large value than 1 to the smaller value than 1 as compared with the specified value and an engine speed stable state are detected, a fuel injection valve 15 is controlled to spray less fuel than a fuel quantity to be set according to a driving state.

PURPOSE:To improve reliability of an engine when it is in failure or the like, by controlling an opening of a valve unit, provided in a bypass passage detouring around a throttle valve, to be aligned to the guard opening when the opening of the valve unit is smaller than the guard opening with an engine speed being in a predetermined range. CONSTITUTION:The captioned control method, feedback controlling in accordance with an engine speed the opening of an idle speed control valve 13 in a bypass passage 12 provided so as to detour around a throttle valve 10 in an intake passage, controls an idle speed to agree with the target value. Here the method, when said valve 13 is feedback controlled further with a detected engine speed by an engine speed sensor 18 being in a predetermined range, stores in memory an opening, a predetermined degree lower than the opening of the control valve 13 in this time, as a guard opening. And when the opening of the control valve 13 by said feedback control is smaller than said guard opening, the method controls the opening of the control valve 13 so as to be aligned to said guard opening.

PURPOSE:To prevent the occurrence of knocking so favorably, by increasing a fuel feed quantity at a time when any drop in cooling capacity of an intercooler is detected and simultaneously making the ignition timing into timing delay. CONSTITUTION:A water level sensor 30 is installed in an intercooler 4, and when a water level of cooling water is below the specified value, it is judged that cooling capacity in the intercooler 4 comes down. And, an ignition timing delay compensation value is calculated inside an electronic control circuit 14. In addition, an increment compensation factor of a fuel injection quantity for the calculated timing delay compensation value is calculated. Thus, a fuel feed quantity is increased and simultaneously the ignition timing is made into timing delay. With this constitution, knocking is favorably prevented from occurring.

PURPOSE:To prevent surely the knocking of an engine by discriminating a low octane value fuel at the higher time of the frequency in knocking generation than the reference frequency and a high octane value fuel at the lower time and by reducing the reference frequency in case of at least one of knocking sensors being normal and another one sensor being abnormal. CONSTITUTION:Knocking sensors 32A and 32B detecting the knocking of a gasoline engine are fitted to the outer wall of a cylinder block 30 and the signal of sensors 32A and 32B is fed to an electronic control circuit 38 with other various sorts of sensors. And based on the output signal of the sensors 32A, 32B the frequency of knocking generations is compared with the reference frequency and it is judged that a low octane value fuel is used in case of higher generation frequency than the reference frequency and that a high octane value fuel is used in case of lower. The abnormality of sensors 32A, 32B is judged based on the output signal of the sensors 32A, 32B and in case of at least one of sensors 32A being normal and at least one of sensors 32B being abnormal the fuel is discriminated 38 with reducing the reference frequency.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent a knocking in an engine which contains a sub intake passage opened and closed according to load by sensing a usage of fuel having lower octane value than expected one and opening the sub intake passage regardless of load. CONSTITUTION:An engine in which two intake valves are provided per cylinder has a sub intake passage containing an intake air controlling valve 2 which is opened at a high-load time. When an engine is operated in the normal state of a low load, the intake air controlling valve 2 is kept closed by a solenoid valve 6 which controls operating load of an actuator 4. Such engine is so prefabricated that it shall use fuel of a high octane value at an ignition timer or the like. If fuel of a low octane value is mixed during operation of the engine, a knock sensor 32 senses that knocking actions occur more intensively and frequently than in normal operation. The sensor 32 forcedly opens the intake air controlling valve 2 to reduce frequency of knocking actions, whereby stabilizing combustion state.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make an optimum increment attainable over the whole driving range, by compensating ignition timing in a timing delay direction in time of knocking occurrence, while compensating a fuel quantity to be fed to an engine for increment according to the compensated value, and making the increment value variably controllable according to a driving state. CONSTITUTION:In time of engine running, first of all, each output of a crank angle sensor 18 and an air flow sensor 24 is taken into a control circuit 20, and a basic ignition timing advance is calculated from an engine speed N and a suction air quantity Q/N per unit rotation. Next, whether knocking occurs there or not is judged from an output signal out of a knock sensor 12, and when YES is the case, the ignition timing is compensated in a timing delay direction. Then, first increment factor is calculated from a compensation value thetaki of ignition timing and the engine speed N while a second increment factor is calculated from the compensation value thetaki and the load Q/N with interpolation out of the specified table, respectively. And, a fuel injection quantity to be calculated from N and Q/N is controlled so as to be compensated for increment by each increment factor aforesaid.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent a misjudgment of fuel during quick acceleration by judging whether the spark lag correction value is the predetermined judgment value for the fuel judgment and judge the fuel being used based on it. CONSTITUTION:A spark lag correction quantity THK is determined in steps S22, S24. Whether it is in a fuel judgment region is judged in a step S26. If Yes is judged in a step S27, the process goes to a step S28, and the content C1 of a counter is added by '1'. If the first counter is '300' or less in a step 33, it is judged that much regular gasoline is mixed, and a flag (f) is set to '1' in a step S32. Accordingly, a misjudgment of fuel can be prevented.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To lessen the execution time of discrimination by skipping the discrimination once the fuel being used has been discriminated not to be that of a prescribed octane number by the later fuel discrimination after the result of fuel discrimination at the starting time of an engine has been eliminated. CONSTITUTION:In a gasoline engine specified for high-octane gasoline, the main routine started in response to the turn-on of a key switch 34 sets the initial value of a counter C counting the number of ignition between large knocks and further sets zero to the flag f for fuel discrimination. The basic ignition advance angle THB predetermined for the intake air quantity Q and the number of revolutions of engine NE and the basic fuel injection time TP are obtained, and the final ignition advance angle THF for each fuel according to either regular or high-octane gasoline is determined by the said basic ignition advance angle THB and the ignition delay angle compensation quantity THK due to knocking. In the fuel discrimination routine, once fuel has been discriminated to be regular gasoline, the execution time of discrimination is lessened by skipping this discrimination.
