    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 cylinder-to-cylinder air/fuel ratio imbalance determination system obtains an imbalance determination parameter that increases or decreases as a difference between the air/fuel ratios of different cylinders increases, based on output values of an air/fuel ratio sensor, and makes a cylinder-to-cylinder A/F imbalance determination, based on the result of comparison between the imbalance determination parameter and a threshold value for imbalance determination. The determination system changes the amount of fuel injected into one or more of the cylinders so as to create a forced imbalance condition in which the air/fuel ratio of a particular cylinder deviates from the air/fuel ratio of the remaining cylinders, and obtains an air/fuel ratio sensor evaluation parameter (e.g., rate of change ΔAF of the detected air/fuel ratio) in this condition. Then, the determination system determines whether the air/fuel ratio sensor is adequate for making a cylinder-to-cylinder A/F imbalance determination, by comparing the evaluation parameter with a reference parameter (an evaluation parameter obtained based on output values of a reference air/fuel ratio sensor in the same forced imbalance condition).
