Abstract: A system includes a reciprocating piston engine configured to output torque to drive a load. The system includes an engine speed sensor operatively coupled with the engine and configured to output an engine speed signal. The system includes an electronic control system operatively coupled with the powertrain. The electronic control system is configured to determine an engine acceleration in response to the engine speed signal, and detect a misfire of the engine in response to the engine acceleration.

Abstract: At least some embodiments of present disclosure direct to a fuel injection timing drift detection and/or compensation system. In some cases, the system collects or receives a series of fuel pressure data measured by one or more fuel pressure sensors. The system is configured to receive an indication of fuel flow cutout and a start-of-injection command signal. The system calculates a set of pressure drops using the series of fuel pressure data and identifies a selected pressure drop greater than a predetermined threshold to determine a measured start-of-injection timing based on the selected pressure drop. The system is further configured to evaluate whether a fuel injection drifting occurs based on received start-of-injection command signal and the measured start-of-injection timing. In some cases, the fuel injection drifting is used to either compensate fuel injection timing or raise a flag indicating the drifting.

Abstract: A pressure-based piston top-dead-center (“TDC”) position measurement system is disclosed, comprising: a fuel injector configured to inject fuel into a combustion chamber bounded in part by the piston; and a controller configured to control the fuel injector to cause a fuel injection when the piston is at each of a plurality of different positions relative to TDC while ensuring fuel is provided to the fuel injector at a substantially constant pressure. The controller is further configured to estimate a pressure in the combustion chamber in response to each fuel injection, fit a curve to the estimated pressures, and determine a TDC position of the piston as correlating with a maximum pressure on the curve.
