A microcomputer-based misfire detecting apparatus for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine. A crank angle sensor is coupled to the engine for detecting first and second predetermined angular intervals set before and after a predetermined reference crank position close to a TDC preceding to combustion stroke in each of the cylinders.

A misfiring sensing apparatus for an internal combustion engine measures the length of time required for two periods during the operation of an engine, each of the periods corresponding to a predetermined number of degrees of rotation of the crankshaft of the engine and corresponding to prescribed positions of the pistons of the engine. The two periods are selected so that the ratio of the lengths of the two periods will change when one of the cylinders of the engine is misfiring. Misfiring is detected based on the value of the ratio. In one form of the invention, misfiring is sensed by comparing the ratio with a reference value. In another form of the invention, the ratio is used to calculate a value indicative of the current angular acceleration of the crankshaft of the engine, and the calculated value is compared with a reference value to determine whether knocking is taking place.

A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine calculates a basic fuel injection amount or a basic ignition timing for an engine based on the air intake quantity into the cylinders of the engine. The air intake quantity is calculated based on the pressure within a cylinder of the engine at a prescribed crankshaft angle. The fuel injection amount or the ignition timing is then controlled by feedback control so that a prescribed controlled variable, which is a function of the cylinder internal pressure, attains a target value.

A rotational speed controller for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle has an air bypass passage which bypasses the throttle valve of the engine. A solenoid valve controls the air intake rate through the bypass passage. The output current of a generator which is driven by the engine is monitored by a current sensor. Based on the current which is sensed, an air intake adjuster calculates the change in the air intake rate through the bypass passage necessary to compensate for the load exerted on the engine by the generator so as to maintain a constant engine speed. The solenoid valve is controlled to change the air intake rate through the bypass passage by the amount calculated by the air intake adjuster. The change in the air intake rate can be calculated on the basis of the level of the generator current and/or the rate of change of the generator current. When a period sensor detects that the generator current is fluctuating with a prescribed amplitude and period, the air intake adjuster calculates the change in the air intake rate on the basis of the average value of the generator current. At other times, it calculates the change in the air intake rate using the instantaneous value of the generator current.
