    摘要: An exhaust gas control apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes: a catalyst which is capable of storing oxygen; a downstream air-fuel ratio sensor that detects the air-fuel ratio of outgoing exhaust gas flowing out of the catalyst; an air-fuel ratio control unit that controls the air-fuel ratio of incoming exhaust gas flowing into the catalyst; and a catalyst state estimation unit that estimates the activity of the catalyst. The air-fuel ratio control unit controls the air-fuel ratio of the incoming exhaust gas so that the air-fuel ratio of the outgoing exhaust gas detected by the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor is maintained at a target air-fuel ratio. The air-fuel ratio control unit sets the target air-fuel ratio to a richer value when the activity of the catalyst is equal to or higher than a predetermined value than when the activity of the catalyst is lower than the predetermined value.

    摘要: A simple and effective control method is disclosed for starting and stopping a vehicle's engine and automatic lighting of position lamps to show the vehicle's location. The method uses brake and gear shift lever of the vehicle to generate selection signals, and a button switch can be pressed to stop or start the engine of the vehicle according to the selection signals, which can provide vehicle drivers a simple and secure way to control their vehicles while waiting at a stoplight.

    摘要: A control apparatus for an internal-combustion engine includes a diagnosis device. The diagnosis device includes a determination section and an exhaust flow rate calculator configured to calculate an exhaust flow rate that reflects a volume flow amount of exhaust gas. A filter is configured to filter a signal representing an air-fuel ratio so that a 0.5th-order frequency component of engine speed is extracted from the signal. An integrator is configured to accumulate a filtered signal for a predetermined period of time to compute an integration value. A corrector is configured to correct the integration value to compute a corrected integration value each time the integration value is computed by the integrator. The determination section is configured to determine that cylinder-to-cylinder air-fuel ratio imbalance occurs in cylinders if the corrected integration value is greater than a predetermined threshold value after the predetermined period of time has elapsed.

    摘要: An air-fuel ratio diagnostic device for an internal combustion engine. The device includes an air-fuel ratio that detects oxygen concentration in the exhaust. A determination unit determines a variation in air-fuel ratio between engine cylinders based on a detection value of the air-fuel ratio sensor. A change amount in the detection value for a certain time when the detection value is changing from a lean side peak value toward a rich side peak value is defined as a rich change rate. A change amount in the detection for a certain time when the detection value is changing from a rich side peak value toward a lean side peak value is defined as a lean change rate. The determination unit determines a degree of variation between the cylinders based on the rich and lean change rates.

    摘要: An electronic throttle control housing structure (10) for a vehicle includes an upper housing (12), a lower housing (14) mating with the upper housing, and a sensor assembly (20) clamped between the upper housing and the lower housing. One of the upper housing or the lower housing has surfaces defining slot structure (22, 24) therein. A portion of the sensor assembly is received in the slot structure in interference fit relation with the surfaces defining the slot structure. Thus, no screws or glue is needed to mount the sensor assembly in the housing structure.
