摘要:
A spark advance angle is calculated depending upon the flow rate of air sucked into the engine or the pneumatic pressure in the intake manifold and upon the rotational speed of the engine. The calculated spark advance angle is corrected in response to the temperature of the air sucked into the engine.

An electronic control device for an automobile is equipped with a circuit for producing a first reset pulse when power is initially supplied to the electronic control device, and a circuit for producing a second reset pulse when the engine is cranked by a starter motor. Thus, an electric digital computer in the electronic control device is initialized in response to not only the first reset pulse but also the second reset pulse.

Electric signals produced in association with both a speed of movement of an acceleration pedal and an engine temperature are transmitted to a fuel injection valve in an intake system asynchronously with the running of an engine, so that an amount of fuel being injected from the fuel injection valve is increased as the speed of movement of the acceleration pedal increases and as the engine temperature is lowered. As a result, fuel is injected at a proper rate according to both the acceleration required and the engine temperature, the driving feeling during acceleration as well as a fuel consumption rate are improved, and an amount of detrimental components in the exhaust gases is lowered.
摘要:
The flow rate of intake air sucked into an internal combustion engine when a throttle valve of the engine is at the idling position is controlled so that the actual rotational speed of the engine becomes equal to a desired rotational speed of the engine. This desired rotational speed of the engine is determined by a predetermined calculation, in accordances with the warming-up state of the engine.

A method is disclosed for automatically shifting the sub-transmission of a vehicle which is also equipped with a manual transmission operated by hand by the driver. When the driver shifts by hand to a certain gearing ratio, a vehicle operating parameter is detected, and, on the basis of this detected value, the procedure for shifting the sub-transmission is modified. Shift control of the sub-transmission is performed in accordance with this modified sub-transmission shift procedure, for a first time period, while the manual transmission remains in this gearing ratio, and subsequently for a second time period shift control of the sub-transmission is performed so as to maximize fuel economy, while the manual transmission remains in this gearing ratio.

An acceleration signal detector is provided for detecting an acceleration condition of an engine based on the open-and-close operation of a throttle valve. Switching arrangements associated with the throttle valve are provided for detecting the fully closed condition of the throttle valve and for detecting a partially closed condition of the throttle valve. Signal processing apparatus receives output signals from the switching arrangements, and a change in the output of the means for detecting a partially closed condition subsequent to a change in the output of the means for detecting the fully closed condition is indicative of acceleration. This arrangement eliminates erroneous signals that might otherwise be caused by chattering of switch contacts.

Disclosed is an EGR system of an internal combustion engine, in which a part of the exhaust gas is drawn out from an exhaust pipe and returned to an intake pipe through a control valve, and a reference pressure in the intake pipe corresponding to the amount of recirculated exhaust gas, predetermined by experiment (beforehand) in various combinations of engine intake air flow and speed, is memorized in a memorizing device. The reference pressure responding to the amount of sucked air being introduced into the engine and the engine rotating speed in the case of actual operation of the engine is read out from the memorizing device and, then, compared with the real pressure in the intake pipe in the case of actual operation of the engine. The control valve has a diaphragm chamber, into which positive or negative pressure is introduced, which pressure is controlled by a solenoid valve actuated by a signal from a control device so as to make the real intake pipe pressure coincide with the reference intake pipe pressure.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a computer control system of an exhaust gas recirculation device for an internal combustion engine, wherein values of the parameters of desired EGR ratios when various conditions in the engine intake system exist are preliminarily stored in the memory of the computer, and wherein a value of a parameter is read out from the memory by detecting a value of the engine condition during its operation. In the system, values of temperature correction factors with respect to at least one temperature characteristic of the engine are also preliminarily stored in the memory. A temperature correction value is read out from the memory in accordance with a detected temperature value of at least one portion of the engine. The computer calculates the amount of EGR needed from the read out values of desired EGR and temperature correction and produces an electrical signal for controlling operation of the EGR value.
