    Abstract: A misfire detecting method is provided for preventing erroneous detection by prohibiting misfire detection when it is judged that an internal combustion engine is operating in a particular operating condition in which load on the engine can suddenly change, wherein a processor for repeatedly executing a misfire detection process immediately ends the present cycle of the misfire detection process when it is judged that the engine has just been started (S3), when it is judged that the igniton key has just been turned off (S4), or when it is judged that the engine is decelerating, that the transmission is performing a shift operation, or that the vehicle is running on a rough road (S5-7), to thereby avoid erroneous detection which is liable to occur during rough-road travel etc.

    Abstract: A failure determination method for an O.sub.2 sensor is provided wherein the air-fuel ratio of a mixture is maintained at a value which produces a leaner or richer air-fuel ratio than a stoichiometric ratio by a predetermined value, for a predetermined time after an engine starts operating in an idle region, to thereby make the oxygen concentration of exhaust gas surrounding the O.sub.2 sensor uniform. Subsequently, the air-fuel ratio is forcibly subjected to an oscillatory change with a predetermined amplitude of .+-.10 to 15% of the stoichiometric ratio with respect to the stoichiometric ratio at a predetermined frequency of several Hz, to determine abnormality of the O.sub.2 sensor based on the change of the output voltage of the O.sub.2 sensor.

    Abstract: A fault diagnosis apparatus for a fuel evaporative emission suppressing system has an electronic control unit which inputs an average value of integral terms for air-fuel ratio feedback control, engine speed, etc. when diagnosis executing conditions are satisfied, and then starts opening operation of a purge control valve. Subsequently, the average value of integral terms, engine speed, etc. are input again. If no substantial change occurs in the average value, etc. with driving of the purge control valve, it is concluded that purge air for fault diagnosis has not been introduced, and that the suppressing system is faulty. In driving the purge control valve, its driving duty ratio is increased by a relatively small increment till the driving duty ratio reaches a predetermined duty ratio. If the system is normal, therefore, a purge-air introduction amount for fault diagnosis is increased by a relatively small increasing degree, to thereby prevent fluctuation of the air-fuel ratio or engine output torque attributable to the purge air introduction. After the driving duty ratio has reached the predetermined duty ratio, the driving duty ratio is increased by a relatively large increment, to thereby rapidly execute the purge-air introduction and fault diagnosis.

    Abstract: A system for the diagnosis of an idling speed control system has a first timer for measuring the time elapsed since entrance to a feedback control mode, an engine speed state detection unit for detecting whether the engine speed has fallen within a predetermined speed range, a second timer for measuring the time elapsed since the engine speed has been detected to fall within the speed range, and a normality determining unit for determining that the idling speed control system is in order, when the time measured by the first timer is within a first preset time and also the engine speed is detected to have fallen within the speed range and has remained in the speed range until the time measured by said second timer reaches a second preset time. By adopting such a diagnosis method that instead of instantaneously determining an idling speed control system as being in order even after the engine speed has once fallen within a speed range to which the engine is intended to be controlled, any subsequent potential disorder of the idling speed control system is also taken into consideration. This has made it possible to obtain high-reliability information, for example, even when information for the diagnosis of a fault of the idling speed is collected on board.

    Abstract: An annular stopper (22) made of synthetic resin is inserted into a housing (5). The housing (5) contains a rack (4) meshing with a pinion which rotates according to steering operation. A reaction force acts on the stopper (22) so that the inward movement of the stopper (22) into the housing (5) is restrained. At least part of the reaction force acts on an end face (22c) of the stopper (22) when the stopper (22) restrains the rack (4) from moving into one direction.

    Abstract: An apparatus for determining a failure of an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) apparatus includes an electronic control unit. When judging the fulfillment of the failure diagnosis executing condition, the electronic control unit stores the intake pressure detected by a pressure sensor, and then introduces part of the exhaust gas from an engine to an intake passage via an EGR passage to start the EGR for failure diagnosis. Thereafter, the intake pressure is detected again. If a significant change in intake pressure does not occur before and after the execution of the EGR for failure diagnosis, it is judged that the EGR apparatus is faulty. If the failure diagnosis executing condition becomes unfulfilled during the execution of failure diagnosis, the EGR for failure diagnosis is stopped, and the failure diagnosis entailing EGR is prohibited from the time when the EGR for failure diagnosis is stopped until a predetermined period of time has elapsed, by which the deterioration in riding quality and drivability of the vehicle is prevented.
