    Abstract: In various described embodiments skip fire control is used to deliver a desired engine output. A controller determines a skip fire firing fraction and (as appropriate) associated engine settings that are suitable for delivering a requested output. In one aspect, the skip fire controller is arranged to select a base firing fraction that has a repeating firing cycle length that will repeat at least a designated number of times per second at the current engine speed. Such an arrangement can be helpful in reducing the occurrence of undesirable vibrations.

    Abstract: A variety of methods and arrangements for reducing noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) in a skip fire engine control system are described. In one aspect, a firing sequence is used to operate the engine in a skip fire manner A smoothing torque is determined that is applied to a powertrain by an energy storage/release device. The smoothing torque is arranged to at least partially cancel out variation in torque generated by the skip fire firing sequence. Various methods, powertrain controllers, arrangements and computer software related to the above operations are also described.

    Abstract: A variety of methods, devices and filters are described that are suitable for averaging measured power train operating parameters over a period that varies as a function of an engine cylinder firing characteristic such as a current operational firing fraction or firing sequence. The averaged measured operating parameter may be used in a variety of different engine control related functions, calculations and/or operations. The described techniques and devices are particularly well suited for use during skip fire operation of an engine.

    Abstract: A variety of methods and arrangements for detecting misfire in a skip fire engine control system are described. In one aspect, a window is assigned to a target firing opportunity for a target working chamber. A change in an engine parameter is measured during the window. A determination is made as to whether a firing opportunity before the target firing opportunity is a skip or a fire and/or whether a firing opportunity after the target firing opportunity is a skip or a fire. Based at least in part on this skip/fire determination, a determination is made as to whether the target working chamber has misfired. In various embodiments, if the target working chamber is identified as persistently misfiring, the firing sequence is modified so that the target working chamber is deactivated and excluded from the firing sequence. In still other embodiments, a torque model is used to detect engine-related problems.

    Abstract: A variety of skip fire engine controllers and control methods are described that utilize look-up tables, state machines, or other data structures to determine the sequence or ordering of skip-fire firings. In one aspect, a skip fire engine controller utilizes a look-up table to determine when firings are appropriate to deliver a desired engine output. In some embodiments, a firing timing controller tracks a value indicative of the portion of a firing that has been requested, but not yet directed and such information is utilized in the determination of the timing of the firings. The accumulator value is particularly useful when transitioning between different requested firing fractions.
