摘要:
A lean burn internal combustion engine wherein a basic fuel amount is calculated from a map based on the intake pressure and the engine speed, and a lean correction factor, which is multiplied by the basic fuel amount, is calculated from a lean map based on the intake pressure and engine speed. A second lean map based on the throttle opening and engine speed is provided for obtaining a lean correction factor when the degree of opening of the throttle valve is larger than a predetermined value. A lean sensor is provided for obtaining a signal indicating the air fuel ratio for carrying out a feedback control. The lean sensor is provided with a heater for controlling the temperature of the sensing element of the heater. A basic map for the heater power, which is based on the intake pressure and engine speed, is provided, and a correction map for the heater power is provided for reducing the heater power from the value obtained from the basic map when the lean map based on the intake pressure and engine speed is employed for obtaining the lean air-fuel mixture, to prevent thermal damage to the sensor element.
摘要:
In an internal combustion engine, a vibration period and a vibration amplitude are measured and the detected vibration period is compared with a natural vibration period prestored in accordance with a driving condition of the vehicle. If the detected vibration period is equal to the natural vibration period under the driving condition at which the vibration period is detected, it is determined that surging due to a torque variation of the engine is occurring. In this condition, the torque variation is controlled to be a predetermined value by increasing an air-fuel ratio or decreasing an amount of EGR when the detected vibration amplitude is smaller than a predetermined value, and the torque variation is controlled to a predetermined value by decreasing an air-fuel ratio or increasing an amount of EGR when the detected vibration amplitude is larger than a predetermined value, and accordingly, the driveability and emission rate are improved.
摘要:
A device for determining an activated condition of the oxygen sensor of a lean sensor for an electric-controlled fuel injection internal combustion engine. When the engine is under a fuel cut operation, the output level from the oxygen sensor is compared with a first predetermined threshold level or with a second predetermined threshold level which is lower than the first threshold level. A determination of the activated condition of the oxygen sensor is obtained when the output level from the oxygen once exceeds the higher first level, or when the output level from the oxygen sensor consecutively exceeds the higher first level twice, whereby a positive and quick determination of the activated condition of the oxygen sensor can be obtained.
摘要:
An air-fuel ratio control system in an internal combustion engine, whereby an acceleration condition is detected to obtain an enrichment correction of a fuel injection amount. An occurrence of a mild acceleration is detected by calculating a value of a rate of change in a parameter of an engine load, such as a degree of opening of a throttle value, between adjacent timings, accumulating values of the rate of change of the engine load parameter during a sampling period, and comparing the accumulated value with a predetermined threshold value.
