PURPOSE:To always permit the proper fuel-cut control by learning the set value of the engine load parameter in the case when fuel feed is suspended when a throttle valve is perfectly opened and comparing said learned value with the load parameter actually measured and carrying out fuel cut. CONSTITUTION:An engine parameter detecting means 2 for detecting the prameter related to the load of an engine 1 and a throttle-valve perfect-opening detecting means 4 for detecting the perfect opening region of a throttle valve 3 are provided. The prescribed value of the engine parameter in the case when fuel feed is suspended is learned by a learning means 5 from the engine parameter signals. The prescribed value of the engine parameter learned by the learning means 5 and the engine parameter actually measured by the engine parameter detecting means 2 are compared in a fuel feed suspension means 7, and when the latter becomes over the former, a fuel feeding means 6 is brought into stop, and fuel cut is carried out.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To surely determines whether knocking occurs or not to prevent pre-ignition, by compensating a constant for calculating a reference value which determines the occurrence of knocking, with the use of the output of detection for the voltage of a battery, and by holding the reference value for determination at a fixed value. CONSTITUTION:When the rotational speed of an engine falls in a specific speed range and the voltage of a battery drops in such a condition that its electrical load is turned on, noise generated from an alternator 50 is superposed on the output of detection by a knock sensor 22, and therefore, the value of background becomes excessively large. Accordingly, a process in which a constant K is turned into 0.8XK is carried out to hold a reference for determination at a fixed value which is compared with peak values. Accordingly, even if the value of background becomes excessively large, it is possible to surely determine whether knocking occurs or not, thereby it is possible to prevent the engine from falling into its pre-ignition condition.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make the increment of a fuel supply performable so properly all the time, by lowering an upper limit of a range performing air-fuel ratio feedback control when cooling water temperature becomes more than the specified value in the case where an internal-combustion engine shifts to a running state at high load or the like. CONSTITUTION:While an internal-combustion engine (a) is running, load and speed of this engine (a) are detected by a running state detecting device (b), and that whether this load and engine speed are included within the specified range or not is judged by a judging device C. And, when YES is judged, in preference to increment control over a fuel supply with high temperature of the engine (a), an air-fuel ratio is feedback-controlled so as to make it the specified air-fuel ratio on the basis of oxygen content in exhaust gas obtainable out of the said detecting device (b). And, when the cooling water temperature detected by the detecting device (b) becomes more than the specified value, each upper limit of the load and engine speed setting the specified range belonging to a judging device (c) is lowered to some extent by a lowering device (e), thereby aiming at the enlargement of a range performing the fuel increment control.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To suppress knocking exceedingly effectively by installing an ignition- timing control means for controlling the ignition timing of an internal-combustion engine towards delayed angle or advanced angle and an ignition-timing delaying means which controls the ignition timing to the delayed angle side. CONSTITUTION:An ignition-timing control means B controls the ignition timing of an internal-combustion engine toward delayed angle or advanced angle by the signal supplied from a knocking detecting means A. An ignition-timing delaying means E is driven by the signal supplied from a sharp acceleration detecting means C and a high-load and high-revolution detecting means D and controls the ignition timing to the delayed-angle side independently of the signal supplied from the knocking detecting means A. Thus, knocking can be suppressed exceedingly effectively.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To enable an accurate idle speed control to be continually performed, by continuously obtained the mean value of an air-fuel ratio feedback correction coefficient determined in accordance with an output from an O2 sensor and controlling the ignition timing in accordance with a deviation of the mean value from the air-fuel ratio feedback correction coefficient. CONSTITUTION:When an internal-combustion engine 14 is in operation, an electronic control circuit 34 first calculates a basic fuel injection quantity tau0 in accordance with an intake air quantity Q and an engine speed N obtained by an air flow meter 2 and a rotary angle sensor 32. Next the circuit 34, when the engine is in idling operation with an idle switch 7 turned on, fetches from a RAM an air-fuel ratio feedback correction coefficient and its mean value after the basic ignition timing at idling time for the engine speed N is referred to a map, calculating a correction angle corresponding to a deviation of the both correction coefficient and the mean value. Subsequently, the circuit 34, adding the correction angle to said basic ignition timing and calculating a required ignition advance angle theta, controls an ignitor 28 in accordance with this ignition advance angle theta.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve drivability after restoration from a fuel cut, by controlling an ashnchronous injection quantity according to a span of time franging from the fuel cut to the restoration, in case of a device which performs asynchronous injection separately from synchronous injection in time of restoration from the fuel cut. CONSTITUTION:In time of car driving, stopping operation of an accelerator pedal 13, when an engine speed N to be detected by a turning angle sensor N in the state that an idle switch 12 is ON goes up beyond the specified value N1, operation of a fuel injection valve 6 is stopped by an electronic braking circuit 20 whereby fuel comes into a state of being cut. Next, with operation of a pedal 3 during a fuel cut, an idle switch 12 is turned to OFF, and the engine speed decrease, coming to N1, and when further it comes to N
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To sufficiently enhance the performance of an engine, by widening and narrowing a low speed side range within a knock control range in accordance with the octane number of fuel so that the spark retardation of ignition timing is compensated in accordance with knocking. CONSTITUTION:At step S4 it is judged whether the fuel is high octane number gasoline or regular gasoline. Through steps S5, S8 it is judged whether the operation range is the knock control range or not. If it is judged to be in the knock control range, the steps S7 and S10 are taken so that the spark advance is subjected to the compensation of spark retardation. Thus, the knock control range which is accordance with the kind of fuel may be set to provide a satisfactory engine performance over the entire operation range of the engine.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To perform a highly precise judgment with no misjudgment by judging that the fuel being used is not the predetermined fuel if the occurrence time interval of knocking is short when the spark lag correction value is in the first judgment region. CONSTITUTION:A step S26 judges that the spark lag correction value is in the first judgment region, and the content C of a counter is added by '1'. If the time interval is short, it is judged that the used fuel is not the predetermined fuel. When the correction value is in the second judgment region, the process goes through a step 33 from the step 26, the counting of the counter is interrupted, and the content C of the counter is held as it is. Accordingly, the fuel judgment time is shortened, and a highly precise judgment can be performed with no misjudgment.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve an exhaust gas emission control rate in time of steady driving, by controlling the ignition timing of an internal-combustion engine provided with a catalyzer, controlling an emission of exhaust gas, for timing advance on the basis of engine load and speed, when a steady driving state is continues, controlling the ignition timing with a delayed timing advance. CONSTITUTION:In time of engine running, a control circuit 34 first calculates a suction air quantity per engine rotation on the basis of each output signal out of an air flow meter 2 and a turning angle sensor 32, and according to the calculation result, it calculates ignition timing advance and fuel injection time. And, according to the calculated timing advance and fuel injection time, an ignitor 28 and a fuel injection valve 12 both are controlled. At the above- mentioned, the ignition timing advance is one as being found after properly compensating a fundamental ignition timing advance calculated from the engine speed and the suction air quantity per engine rotation, and when a car steady running state is continues to be more than the specified time (for example, 60sec), the ignition timing is made so as to be controlled with a more delayed timing advance than the said ignition timing advance.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent both excessive advance of ignition timing and knocking in a system wherein an intake control valve is provided in one of two intake passages by keeping the intake control valve in the opened position when a knock sensor senses a trouble. CONSTITUTION:In an internal combustion engine provided with a knock sensor 35,two intake passages 18A and 18B are provided and an intake control valve 20 is mounted in one 18A of the passages and controlled for opening and closing action in accordance with the operational condition of the engine. It is determined whether or not the knock sensor is operated normally in the basis of signals of the knock sensor 35 which is received by a control circuit 50. If a level of a background signal among the signals of the knock sensor is below a reference value, a trouble of the sensor is determined. the intake control valve 20 will then be fixed in the opened position. Because of such operation, if the knocking action control fails to be performed successfully, an ignition timing may be prevented from advancing excessively.
