摘要:
A method is introduced of checking the drivability of a tank-venting valve (TEV) and of an idle actuator.After actuating the TEV, an additional air/fuel mixture is supplied to the intake region of an internal combustion engine having an air/fuel ratio which can be equal to that at which the engine usually operates (.lambda..sub.0) or greater or less than .lambda..sub.0. Reactions of a .lambda.-control and/or of an idle control can be evaluated in dependence thereon. It is advantageous that a check is made independently of how intense the additional air/fuel mixture is enriched with fuel.

The invention is directed to a method of checking a tank-venting apparatus for a motor vehicle equipped with a fuel tank and an internal combustion engine having an intake pipe. The apparatus includes an adsorption filter having a venting end and an intake end, a supply line connecting the intake end to the tank and a connecting line interconnecting the intake pipe of the engine and the intake end of the adsorption filter. A tank-venting valve is mounted in the connecting line between the intake pipe and the intake end of the adsorption filter and a drive unit for actuating the tank-venting valve. The method includes the steps of: changing the open state of the tank-venting valve when a pregiven operating state range of the engine is present; detecting the difference pressure between the pressure at the intake end of the adsorption filter and the ambient pressure; checking if the difference pressure or the end value of the difference pressure change lies in a predetermined range after the open state of the tank-venting valve is changed; and, issuing a fault announcement if neither the difference pressure, the time constant of the difference pressure change nor the end value of the difference pressure change lies in said predetermined range. The invention utilizes the realization that the difference pressure is based on the gas flow into and out of the adsorption filter. The difference pressure drops when the outflow is clogged or when there is a leak. On the other hand, the difference pressure increases when the inflow is clogged. In this way, the operability of the tank-venting apparatus can be checked in a simple manner.

The invention is directed to a method of checking the tightness of a tank-venting apparatus for a motor vehicle having a fuel tank and an internal combustion engine including a lambda controller and an air intake pipe. The tank-venting apparatus includes an adsorption filter, a supply line interconnecting the adsorption filter and the fuel tank, a connecting line interconnecting the adsorption filter and the intake pipe and a tank-venting valve mounted in the connecting line between the adsorption filter and the intake pipe. The method includes the steps of: measuring the pressure difference between pressure in the tank and ambient pressure; when the tank-venting valve is opened, determining whether the pressure difference increases above a threshold value and whether a lean correction by the lambda controller is required; and, drawing the conclusion that the tank-venting apparatus leaks when neither a lean correction is determined nor the pressure difference exceeds the threshold value. The method is based on the recognition that, when the tank-venting valve is open, either an underpressure must build up in the tank or a lean correction must be determined by the lambda controller based on the fuel vaporizing in the tank. The method is very reliable by simultaneously carrying out these two checks.

In a heatable lambda probe, the probe voltage is first measured with the heater switched off and then with the heater switched on. The difference between the two voltages is formed and, when it exceeds a predetermined threshold difference, a shunt signal is output which indicates that the probe is not yet ready for operation. Otherwise, the system is examined for readiness for closed-loop control in the conventional manner.

The invention is directed to a sequential fuel injection method wherein the first injection end time point is determined at which the preinjections end. In addition, the first intake end time point is determined at which a signal occurs for the first time after the start of the method which is evaluated as a signal that indicates the end of an induction operation. Furthermore, a determination is made for which cylinder the above-mentioned time point applies. If the first-mentioned time point lies ahead of the second-mentioned time point, the sequential fuel injection is started for the determined cylinder. For the opposite position of the mentioned time points, the injection valve for that particular cylinder is driven whose induction cycle follows the determined cylinder with the injection valve being so driven that the entire fuel quantity is injected which was computed for the sequential injection. The method of the invention assures that an internal combustion engine receives a proper injection as soon as possible after the start thereof without an overenrichment of the mixture for the individual cylinders.
摘要:
An ignition and injection system for internal combustion engines is suggested in which a phase sensor which includes a sensor drum driven synchronously with the ignition distributor, particularly a Hall sensor drum formed with a plurality of cut-out portions, one of which is wider than the cut-out portions, and indicates the beginning of an ignition or injection cycle in emergency running. The cut-out portions produce correspondingly long timing pulses, at the beginning of which the ignition coil is charged until the trailing edge occurs and the ignition is effected. The trailing edge of the timing pulses can occur e.g. 10.degree. before the top dead center of the respective cylinder.

The oil pressure applied to a hydraulic device for controlling within a limited angular range of a cam shaft and its drive gear is controlled by a magnetic valve (35) which is switched between its open and closed position under control of the same microcomputer which controls engine ignition and/or fuel injection with reference to a predetermined function of some of the same engine operation parameters, namely engine speed and engine load, which are used to control ignition and/or fuel injection. The control function can advantageously also take account of rate of change of engine load or engine speed. A transducer (43) for reporting back the sleeve (22) which controls the mechanical rotary shift in response to oil pressure can be used to provide an actual value signal to the computer for generation of an error signal for controlling the magnetic valve so as to provide a continuous control of the overlap of the open periods of the intake and exhaust valves of the engine. The control function for the operation of the magnetic valve provides for hysteresis to prevent excessive switching back and forth.

A diagnostic method and arrangement quantitatively checks actuators during the open-loop and/or closed-loop control of operational parameters of an internal combustion engine. The method and arrangement checks the idle actuator and the tank venting value well as the associated hardward chains, that increased or decreased quantities of air (.+-..DELTA.Q.sub.TEV/LLR) be supplied via an appropriate controlling to the tank-venting valve or of the idle regulator, preferbly simultaneously and in opposite directions and that the resulting possible changes of rotational speed (rotational speed remains constant; rotational speed decreases; rotational speed increases) be determined and appropriately evaluated.

A method of and a device for a self-diagnosis of setting members in complex controlling and regulating systems, particularly for the self-diagnosis of an idling speed air charge adjustor of an internal combustion engine, includes the following functional stages: the self-diagnosis is performed at certain operational conditions at which a regulating path governed by a regulating subsystem pertaining to the setting member does not react to a change of the latter and the operation of a motor vehicle thus remains unaffected; the comparing of plausibility of the control signals for the setting member with a second control signal from another regulating subsystem is performed by comparing both control signals with a known, previously determined relation, which is stored in a memory.
