    摘要: The disclosure provides a method to operate an engine including a first set of cylinders and a second set of cylinders with the help of an engine control module (ECM). The ECM determines a current engine speed, a current engine load, and a current degree of rotation. If the current engine load is below a threshold load that corresponds to the current engine speed, the ECM selects a cylinder cutout strategy. The ECM initiates the cylinder cutout strategy wherein the fuel supply is cutout alternatively between the first set of cylinders and the second set of cylinders at a predetermined degree of rotation. The fuel injection is modified by a predetermined amount to a set of non-cutout cylinders. The ECM deactivates the cylinder cutout strategy when the current engine load exceeds the threshold load that corresponds to the current engine speed.

    摘要: A method for controlling a fuel injector includes applying a spill valve current, applying a control valve current, the control and spill valves including components in electrical communication with each other, and detecting a timing at which the spill valve returns to an open position based on induced spill valve current. The method includes detecting a timing at which the control valve returns to a resting position based on induced control valve current, the induced spill valve current and the induced control valve current being included in respective freewheeling currents that at least partially overlap each other, adjusting a spill valve current that is applied during an injection, based on the detected spill valve return timing, and adjusting a control valve current that is applied during the injection, based on the detected control valve return timing.
