Abstract:
PURPOSE:To control the air-fuel ratio with high precision within a set range by controlling a fuel feed quantity according to the deviation between an aimed torque and actual torque and the torque variation. CONSTITUTION:The signals supplied from a pressure sensor 38 installed onto a cylinder head 18, air flow sensor 34, etc. are input into a control unit 50, and the output torque is calculated from a cylinder internal pressure signal. The fundamental fuel injection quantity calculated on the basis of the revolution speed, intake air quantity, etc. is corrected according to the detected torque. Further, the torque variation quantity is calculated, and the fuel injection quantity is corrected according to the torque variation quantity. Therefore, independently of the variation factors such as the between-individual variation and the variation through the lapse of time, air-fuel ratio can be controlled within a set range.

PURPOSE:To accurately detect a displaced degree of a crank angle, by equipping an engine with a means, which discriminates a peak of compression pressure in the time of a fuel cut, and a means which calculates the displaced degree of the crank angle, detected by a crank angle detector, from the peak. CONSTITUTION:In the time of a fuel cut, the displacement of a crank angle is known by measuring a difference of pressure between symmetrical positions interposing the top dead center. In the past, a detection value of the crank angle was corrected in the time of a deceleration fuel cut time, but an engine, which generates a high engine speed further fully closes a throttle valve in the time of deceleration, small decreases an intake amount of air and a pressure in a combustion chamber, and a problem has been provided that no good detection accuracy is obtained. Hereupon, cranking or the like, where the intake amount of air increases, is detected, and the detection value of the crank angle is corrected to be calculated by forcedly performing the fuel cut. Consequently, a displaced degree of the crank angle can be high accurately detected.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for correcting variation in mixing ratio of an EGR gas amount passing through a low-pressure EGR passage and a high-pressure EGR passage, in an exhaust recirculation device for an internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: The exhaust gas recirculation device for an internal comprises: a turbocharger; the low-pressure EGR passage; the high-pressure EGR passage; and an airflow meter. A high-pressure EGR gas amount is feedback-controlled depending on fresh air amounts, and open-loop control of a low-pressure EGR gas amount is performed based on an operational status of the internal combustion engine. Opening of each equipment and the fresh air amount are set to be reference values, and based on a measured fresh air amount at the time, a relation between the low-pressure EGR gas amount and the opening of the equipment which can adjust it is learned and corrected.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To oxidize and remove PM accumulated on a filter, while inhibiting degradation of exhaust gas emission and fuel-economy in an exhaust emission control system of an internal combustion engine provided with the filter in the exhaust gas passage of the engine for collecting PM in the exhaust gas. SOLUTION: In the exhaust emission control system, a catalyst having the function of oxidation is placed in the exhaust gas passage upstream of the filter, or it is carried on the filter. The filter is regenerated by supplying unburned fuel to the catalyst. If the adhesion of unburned fuel on the passage reaches at least a specified amount in the filter-regeneration control, an exhaust gas temperature-raising control is started so at to raise the temperature of exhaust gas by raising the engine load. Thereafter, the exhaust gas temperature-raising control is stopped in the timing when the amount of adhesion of unburned fuel on the passage, which increases again upon stop of the exhaust gas temperature-raising control, becomes at most the specified amount of adhesion when the filter regeneration control is stopped.
