    摘要: An engine performs a combustion mode selected from a plurality of combustion modes. The combustion modes include stratified-charge combustion and homogeneous-charge combustion. A electronic control unit switches the combustion mode in accordance with the current running conditions of the engine. The electronic control unit limits a running area in which stratified-charge combustion is performed in accordance with the frequency of engine knocking occurrences. This properly executes knocking control without adversely affecting the execution of is stratified-charge combustion.

    摘要: A cam shaft of an engine is provided with a timing change mechanism (VVT) which is driven by hydraulic pressure to alter the timing of a intake valve (valve timing). This VVT is controlled to change the valve overlap of the intake valve and an exhaust valve, thereby adjusting the suction and exhaust in and from a combustion chamber. To control the VVT, an electronic control unit (ECU) computes a target value for the valve timing in accordance with the running condition of the engine and controls the supply of the hydraulic pressure to the VVT based on the target value. The ECU determines the level of the actual hydraulic pressure given to the VVT. When the actual valve timing does not lie in a predetermined range with respect to the target value, the ECU determines that an abnormality has occurred in the VVT, and executes a predetermined fail safe routine. When the hydraulic pressure is equal to or smaller than a reference value, the ECU suppresses WT malfunction determinations.

    摘要: A method for controlling fuel injection rate in internal combustion engine in accordance with the intake pressure and the engine speed. The method has the steps of determining the intake pressure using, as a variable, the period of time after a change in the throttle opening, and computing a basic fuel injection period on the basis of the thus computed intake pressure and the engine speed. The fuel injection is conducted by a system in accordance with this method. The system determines the intake pressure in the steady state of engine operation in accordance with the throttle opening and the fuel injection rate, effects a correction on the thus determined intake pressure so as to take into account a delay in response of the intake pressure to the transient period, and determines the basic fuel injection period on the basis of the corrected intake pressure and the engine speed. With this method and system, the fuel injection rate can be controlled in a high degree of conformity with the injection rate demanded by the engine, because the injection rate is determined on the basis of the engine speed and the actual intake pressure which can be predicted with a high degree of precision.

    摘要: A first parameter correlated with a degree of fluctuation of output from an air-fuel ratio sensor is calculated, and whether or not the calculated first parameter has a value between a predetermined primary determination upper-limit value α1H and a primary determination lower-limit value is determined. Such forced active control as reduces an air-fuel ratio shift in one of the cylinders which is subjected to a most significant air-fuel ratio shift is performed when the calculated first parameter is determined to have a value between the predetermined primary determination upper-limit value and the primary determination lower-limit value. A first parameter is calculated while the forced active control is in execution. The calculated first parameter is compared with a predetermined secondary determination value to determine whether or not variation abnormality is present.

    摘要: A fuel vapor treating mechanism includes a canister for adsorbing fuel vapor produced in a fuel feed system. The treating mechanism purges the fuel vapor adsorbed by the canister, along with air, to an intake system of the engine. An ECU computes a value representing the flow rate of the purged gas as a value that represents the capability of the treating apparatus. The ECU sets a decision value in accordance with the amount of the fuel vapor produced in the fuel feed system. The decision value represents a required capability of the treating mechanism. When the value representing the capability is less than the decision value, the ECU prohibits stratified charge combustion and causes the engine to perform homogeneous charge combustion. Therefore, as many opportunities as possible are provided to perform stratified charge combustion, which improves fuel efficiency.

    摘要: A valve timing control apparatus that continuously controls the valve timing of an intake valve or an exhaust valve of an engine. This apparatus includes a hydraulic variable valve timing mechanism, a hydraulic control valve and an electronic control unit for controlling the control valve. The variable valve timing mechanism alters the valve timing to change the valve overlap of the intake valve with respect to the exhaust valve. The hydraulic control valve controls the hydraulic pressure supplied to the variable valve timing mechanism. The real phase of the valve timing is coincided with a target phase that corresponds with the running conditions of the engine. When the real phase of the valve timing approaches the target phase, the hydraulic control valve is controlled to sustain the phase of that instant. The electronic control unit, which learns the control state of the valve-timing sustaining control, sets an initial learning value that reduces the valve overlap when the learning has started. A restricting means for restricting a correction means is included.

    摘要: An improvement of a valve timing control apparatus for an engine is disclosed. The apparatus has an intake valve and an exhaust valve which are alternately opened and closed in a valve timing sequence according to a rotation of a cam shaft. A timing pulley mounted on the cam shaft has a housing accommodating a plunger movable therein and a sleeve secured to the cam shaft. The housing has a first and second pressure chambers defined by the plunger and sealed with respect to each other. The plunger is arranged to move in an axial direction to selectively advance and retard the cam shaft based on differential pressure between the first pressure chamber and the second pressure chamber. A controller controls an electromagnetic valve with a specific control value to adjust the fluid pressure to be supplied to the first and second pressure chambers to maintain the valve timing sequence converged to a target valve timing. The controller corrects the specific value based on a rotational speed of the engine when the plunger is in one of the extreme positions in the chambers, and adjusts the fluid pressures based on the corrected specific value.

    摘要: A direct-fuel-injection-type internal combustion engine is equipped with an injector for injecting fuel directly into a combustion chamber of a cylinder. A controller controls the degree of opening of a throttle valve for adjusting the amount of air drawn into the combustion chamber and sets the throttle valve to a closed valve state by setting the degree of opening of the throttle valve to a degree of opening that is on the closed valve side of a post-engine start target degree of opening, when the engine is to be started. After it is determined that a start of the engine has been accomplished, the controller opens the throttle valve by gradually increasing the degree of opening of the throttle valve from the degree of opening of the closed valve state to the post-engine start target degree of opening.
