    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for reliably detecting misfires in an internal combustion engine during actual driving conditions by monitoring fluctuations in engine speed between consecutive firing intervals. An average acceleration over a series of firing intervals is removed from an individual acceleration measurement corresponding to a particular firing interval to give an acceleration deviation which is then normalized to an expected torque to provide a power loss measurement. The power loss measurement indicates the occurrence of a misfire with a high signal-to-noise ratio. The information derived from misfire detection can be used to prevent destruction of a catalytic converter by unburned fuel mixtures and can be used to improve vehicle driveability by correcting for or indicating needed service for the vehicle. The misfire detection is implemented using existing sensors and processors and is adapted to be done on-board a vehicle in real time.

    摘要: Engine crankshaft velocity is determined during each firing interval of an engine. Pairs of velocities are combined to yield acceleration measurements indicating the work done by a particular cylinder in its power stroke. A deviation of a particular acceleration value from that of neighboring values denotes a lack of power in the corresponding cylinder. The width and the phase of each velocity interval are used which provide accurate and substantially independent acceleration measures for each power stroke. Specifically, the width of each interval is preferably between about 45.degree.-180.degree. of engine rotation. Each interval has a phase in relation to its respective power stroke such that the drop in acceleration occurring in a particular power stroke causes a maximum drop in the calculated acceleration corresponding to that particular power stroke and causes a smaller but substantially equal drop in the calculated accelerations corresponding to the preceding and following power strokes. The velocity measurement intervals can be defined by position reference marking signals generated at rotational positions corresponding to a point within the power strokes where a maximum acceleration would approximately occur during a proper firing of the power stroke.

    摘要: A system is disclosed for diagnosing faults in electronic control systems wherein a large volume of information is exchanged between the electronic control processor and a mechanical system under its control. The data is acquired such that parameter vectors describing the system operation are formed. The vectors are provided to a pattern recognition system such as a neural network for classification according to the operating condition of the electronically controlled system. For diagnosis of electronically controlled engine operation, the parameters included in the vectors correspond to individual firing events occurring in the engine operating under a predetermined condition. The diagnostic system can be implemented as a service tool in an automotive service bay or can be implemented within the on-board electronic control system itself.

    摘要: An apparatus for identifying the power stroke of a particular cylinder in a multi-cylinder engine which utilizes a wasted spark electronic distributorless ignition system but lacks a camshaft driven cylinder identification sensor, wherein a single sensor can be placed in a coil pack adjacent to and substantially equidistant from the ignition coil towers. The sensor will produce a signal reflecting the difference in voltage drops between corresponding pairs of spark plugs who share the same coil and which utilizes this signal to determine the power stroke of individual cylinders to produce a resulting synthetic cylinder identification signal. This apparatus can further be used as a permanent on-board sensor, thereby negating the need for a separate camshaft driven sensor, to determine the cylinder identification.
