    摘要: A vehicle suspension comprises dampers changeable between low and high damping modes and normally operated in the low damping mode. A damper control stores a plurality of sets of reference numbers as a function of vehicle velocity, the reference numbers of each set representing limit values of throttle velocity for the low damping mode for a given transmission gear mode. The reference numbers of each set increase in value with increasing vehicle velocity in a continuously non-linear manner so as to compensate for the decreasing acceleration and body lift produced by a given throttle velocity as vehicle velocity increases. The control changes the damper from low to high damping during vehicle acceleration for a predetermined time when the throttle velocity exceeds a throttle velocity limit reference derived from the reference number corresponding to the vehicle velocity in the set corresponding to the selected transmission gear mode. The control further changes the dampers from low to high damping for a predetermined time when vehicle deceleration exceeds a reference, when a transmission shift occurs or when engine torque first exceeds a reference.

    摘要: The fuel control routine of an engine control module sets a cold enrichment schedule used for engine starting when the engine is cold. The enrichment value is dependent on coolant temperature. To prevent plug fouling in a new vehicle subject to short engine run times, the enrichment value is reduced if the mileage is below 50 miles, the coolant temperature is within set limits and the previous engine run time was shorter than a set period.

    摘要: An idle speed control motor under computer control positions a throttle stop for setting minimum throttle angles. The motor response to actuating pulses varies from motor to motor so that a gain factor is determined for each motor and is used to calculate the required pulse width to attain a desired throttle displacement. A gain learn program in the engine control computer runs when the ignition is turned off and is effective to extend the motor with a number of pulses of known width, measure the throttle displacement, and determine the gain factor by dividing a standard displacement by the measured displacement. The same program is applied to learning the gain of a throttle motor in an electronic throttle control system.

    摘要: Potentially damaging operation of a viscous converter clutch (VCC) is detected in relation to the slippage thereacross. The slippage is compared with a reference slip value indicative of excessive VCC slippage to develop a net overslip indicator. The value of the net overslip indicator changes in the direction of a first limit value so long as the detected slip is at least as great as the reference slip, and in the direction of a second limit value so long as the detected slip is less than the reference slip. When the net overslip indicator reaches the first limit value, the friction clutch is disengaged to release the VCC. According to a first embodiment, the transmission fluid temperature at the time of such deactivation is measured and stored, and the VCC is reactivated when transmission fluid temperature falls below the stored temperature, assuming other criteria for activation are also met. According to a second embodiment, the VCC is reactivated a predetermined time after its deactivation and measurement of the transmission fluid temperature is not required.
