摘要:
There is provided a catalyst deterioration-detecting system for an internal combustion engine having at least one catalyst arranged in the exhaust passage, for purifying noxious components present in exhaust gases emitted from the engine, and an exhaust gas component concentration sensor arranged in the exhaust passage at a location downstream of the catalyst, for detecting concentration of a specific component in the exhaust gases. An ECU of the system controls the ignition timing of the engine, and detects the degree of deterioration of the catalyst, based on an output value from the exhaust gas component concentration sensor. The ignition timing of the engine is retarded in dependence on the detected degree of deterioration of the catalyst.

An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine having at least one catalytic converter arranged in the exhaust passage, comprises an ECU which changes air intake characteristics of the engine, based on operating conditions of the engine, and a plurality of exhaust gas component concentration sensors including at least upstream and downstream exhaust gas component concentration sensors arranged in the exhaust passage at respective locations upstream and downstream of the at least one catalytic converter. The air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture to be supplied to the engine is controlled to a desired air-fuel ratio in a feedback manner responsive to an output from the upstream exhaust gas component concentration sensor. A feedback control parameter for use in the air-fuel ratio feedback control is calculated based on an output from the downstream exhaust gas component concentration sensor. The updating rate of the feedback control parameter is changed when the feedback control parameter is calculated, according to the air intake characteristics of the engine.

An ignition timing control system for an internal combustion engine is associated with a fuel injection amount control system for calculating an amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine, based on operating conditions of the engine, correcting the calculated amount of fuel, based on an adherent amount of fuel adhering to the inner wall surface of the intake passage, and a carried-off amount of fuel to be carried off from the adherent fuel into each combustion chamber of the engine, and injecting the corrected fuel amount into the intake passage. The ignition timing control system comprises an ECU which detects whether the engine has been recovered from a fuel cut state to a fuel supply state, and calculates ignition timing of the engine, based on operating conditions of the engine detected by engine operating parameter sensors, including pressure within the intake passage. A retard amount by which the ignition timing is to be retarded is calculated based on the detected operating conditions of the engine when it is detected that the engine has been recovered from the fuel cut state to the fuel supply state. Further, the ignition timing is corrected based on the calculated retard amount.
摘要:
An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine includes a LAF sensor and an O2 sensor arranged in an exhaust pipe at respective locations upstream and downstream of a catalytic converter. A desired air-fuel ratio coefficient used in calculating an amount of fuel supplied to the engine is calculated based on operating conditions of the engine, and corrected based on output from the O2 sensor. The air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine is feedback-controlled to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio based on the corrected desired air-fuel ratio coefficient. When the output from the O2 sensor falls within a predetermined range, the desired air-fuel ratio coefficient is not corrected, but held at an immediately preceding value thereof.

A control system for controlling operation of an internal combustion engine detects a selected one of two exhaust modes: a first exhaust mode in which exhaust gases are guided through a first catalytic converter upstream of a second catalytic converter, and a second exhaust mode in which exhaust gases are guided through a bypass passage bypassing the first catalytic converter. A control mode is determined according to the selected one of the two exhaust modes, in which the operation of the engine is to be controlled by the control system.
摘要:
A control system for an internal combustion engine estimates an amount of adherent fuel adhering to the inner surface of the intake passage, as well as an amount of carried-off fuel evaporated form fuel adhering to the inner surface of the intake passage and carried into combustion chambers, determines an amount of supply fuel to be supplied to the engine, based upon operating conditions of the engine, the estimated adherent fuel amount, and the estimated carried-off fuel amount, and supplies the determined supply fuel amount into the intake passage. The control system calculates an amount of exhaust gases to be recirculated from the exhaust passage to the intake passage, and corrects the estimated adherent fuel amount and the estimated carried-off fuel amount, based upon the calculated exhaust gas recirculating amount, based upon the calculated exhaust gas recirculating amount. Advantageously, the exhaust gas recirculating amount is calculated based upon dynamic characteristics of an exhaust gas recirculation control valve and those of exhaust gases being recirculated.

In a control system for a compression-ignition engine whose operation is switchable between a compression-ignition operation in which an air-fuel mixture supplied to a combustion chamber auto-ignites to burn owing to compression and a spark-ignition operation in which the air-fuel mixture is ignited to burn by a spark of a spark plug, it is determined whether a predetermined permissible condition to permit switching from the spark-ignition to the compression-ignition operation is satisfied, and switching from the spark-ignition operation to the compression-ignition operation is permitted when the predetermined permissible condition is satisfied, thereby enabling to expand the compression-ignition operation utilization region so long as permissible in light of the engine operating condition.

摘要:
An EGR failure determination system for an internal combustion engine, which is capable of accurately determining failures of both an external EGR device and an internal EGR device, irrespective of whether the EGR amount is large or small, thereby making it possible to enhance marketability of the system. The EGR failure determination system includes an ECU. The ECU calculates an actual fresh air ratio, and sets a target value thereof. Further, it calculates a feedback correction coefficient according to the actual fresh air ratio and the target value, and controls an exhaust recirculation mechanism and three variable mechanism. When the feedback correction coefficient is not within a predetermined range, and if it is larger than 0.5, at least one of the three variable mechanism is determined to be faulty, whereas if it is not larger than 0.5, the exhaust recirculation mechanism is determined to be faulty.

A brake negative pressure control apparatus and method, and an engine control unit for an internal combustion engine are provided for ensuring a negative pressure within a brake booster and a stable combustion while avoiding a complicated control. The brake negative pressure control apparatus comprises a negative pressure sensor for detecting a negative pressure within the brake booster, and an ECU for disabling the combustion mode to be set to the stratified combustion when the detected negative pressure is lower than a first predetermined negative pressure. The ECU controls a throttle valve opening in accordance with a target throttle valve opening in a homogeneous combustion mode when the ECU disables the combustion mode to be set to the stratified combustion.
