    摘要: An air-fuel ratio imbalance among cylinders determining apparatus (a determining apparatus) according to an aspect of the present invention, obtains a parameter X for imbalance determination which becomes larger as a variation of an air-fuel ratio of an exhaust gas passing through a position at which the air-fuel ratio sensor is disposed becomes larger, based on an output value Vabyfs of an air-fuel ratio sensor 67. At the same time, the determining apparatus changes a target air-fuel ratio which is a target value of an air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to an engine to “an air-fuel ratio (a target rich air-fuel ratio AFrich or a target lean air-fuel ratio AFlean) other than a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio” from the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. Accordingly, the determining apparatus can obtain the parameter X for imbalance determination in a state in which a responsivity of the air-fuel ratio sensor 67 is not low. As a result, it can make a determination on the air-fuel ratio imbalance among cylinders with high accuracy.

    摘要: An inter-cylinder air-fuel imbalance determination apparatus according to the present invention obtains, based on the output value of the air-fuel ratio sensor, an air-fuel ratio fluctuation indicating amount whose absolute value becomes larger as a fluctuation of the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas passing through the air-fuel ratio sensor becomes larger, and further obtains an imbalance determination parameter which becomes larger as an absolute value of the air-fuel ratio fluctuation indicating amount becomes larger. In addition, the determination apparatus obtains an average value of the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas when the imbalance determination parameter is being obtained, and obtains an imbalance determination threshold which becomes smaller as the average value of the air-fuel ratio is closer to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. The determination apparatus determines that an inter-cylinder air-fuel ratio imbalance state has been occurring when the imbalance determination parameter is larger than the imbalance determination threshold.

    摘要: An inter-cylinder air-fuel ratio imbalance determination apparatus (determination apparatus) according to the present invention obtains, based on the output value of the air-fuel ratio sensor, an imbalance determination parameter which becomes larger as an air-fuel ratio fluctuation of an exhaust gas passing through a position at which the air-fuel ratio sensor is disposed becomes larger, during a parameter obtaining period. The determination apparatus energizes the heater of the air-fuel ratio sensor in such a manner that a temperature of the air-fuel ratio element during the parameter obtaining period is higher than a temperature of the air-fuel ratio element during a period other than the parameter obtaining period. Accordingly, the imbalance determination parameter is obtained while the responsiveness of the air-fuel ratio sensor is high, and thus, the inter-cylinder air-fuel-ratio imbalance determination having a high accuracy can be made.

    摘要: An inter-cylinder air-fuel ratio imbalance determination apparatus (determination apparatus) according to the present invention obtains, as an “EGR supplying state imbalance determination parameter”, a value corresponding to a differential value d(abyfs)dt of a detected air-fuel ratio abyfs represented by an output value of an air-fuel ratio sensor when an EGR gas is being supplied, and obtains, as an “EGR stop state imbalance determination parameter”, a value corresponding to a differential value d(abyfs)dt when an EGR gas supply is being stopped. The determination apparatus obtains an “EGR-causing imbalance determination parameter Pegr” by subtracting the EGR stop state imbalance determination parameter Poff from the EGR supplying state imbalance determination parameter Pon, and determines that an inter-cylinder air-fuel ratio imbalance state has occurred due to the supply of the EGR gas when the parameter Pegr is larger than a threshold Pegrth.

    摘要: A catalyst deterioration diagnosing apparatus is provided with means for performing stoichiometric feedback control on the air-fuel ratio based on at least output from an upstream air-fuel ratio sensor provided upstream of a catalyst, means for measuring the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst, and means for correcting the measured value of the oxygen storage capacity based on at least the output behavior of a downstream air-fuel ratio sensor provided downstream of the catalyst during the stoichiometric feedback control. The measured value of the oxygen storage capacity is corrected using the output behavior of the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor during stoichiometric feedback control. The diagnostic is performed after eliminating the effects from sulfur by correcting the measured value to a value corresponding to when low sulfur fuel is used, which makes it possible to prevent an erroneous diagnosis from being made.

    摘要: A fuel injection amount control system acquires an air-fuel ratio imbalance index value that increases as the degree of ununiformity in the air-fuel ratio among cylinders increases, based on an output value of an upstream air-fuel ratio sensor, and acquires an imbalance index learned value by performing a first-order lag filtering operation for removing noise, on the air-fuel ratio imbalance index value. Also, the fuel injection amount is increased based on the imbalance index learned value. In the filtering operation, the time constant of the filter is set to a smaller value when a magnitude of a difference between the current value and the last value of the air-fuel ratio imbalance index value is equal to or larger than a threshold value.
