Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for identifying when an exhaust valve of an engine cylinder is not functioning as desired while the engine is being operated to raise a temperature of an exhaust system emissions control device, and in turn taking mitigating action. Thus, in one example a method comprises adjusting an amount of fuel that is provided to each of a plurality of cylinders of an engine during an exhaust stroke of the engine in response to an indication of degraded combustion stemming from a cylinder of the engine. In this way, the engine may continue to be operated to raise the temperature of the exhaust system emissions control device, while mitigating the issue of the degraded combustion.

Abstract: Methods and systems for operating an engine with different fuels having different cetane levels are described. In one example, start of fuel injection timing for engine cylinders may be adjusted responsive to engine deceleration or combustion phase during engine cranking. The start of fuel injection timing may be retarded for higher cetane fuels and advanced for lower cetane fuels.

Abstract: Methods and systems for evaluating cylinder pressure profiles in cylinders of an engine are disclosed. In one example, fuel injection timing of engine cylinders is adjusted to improve engine combustion in response to output of one or more pressure sensors installed in engine cylinders. Combustion within a plurality of engine cylinders may be adjusted in response to pressure sensed in a single engine cylinder.

Abstract: Methods for controlling a glow plug temperature in a diesel engine in response to one or more past operating conditions related to glow plug aging are described. Thereby, the glow plug life calculator of the present disclosure may be useful for indicating degradation of the glow plug in order to prolong the useful life while increasing glow plug durability. In one example, a first phase voltage is reduced in relation to an engine parameter associated with engine start time in order to allow the life of the glow plug to be prolonged while maintaining engine start time at an acceptable level.

Abstract: A method to protect a high-pressure fuel pump in a diesel-engine system includes enabling the high-pressure fuel pump when fuel pressure in the diesel-engine system is above a threshold, and disabling the high-pressure fuel pump if the fuel pressure is below the threshold. In this manner, the high-pressure fuel pump is protected from premature wear and failure due to inadequate lubrication.
