摘要:
Correction of a fuel injection amount in an internal combustion engine during purge of evaporative fuel is performed on the basis of an output from an intake-oxygen concentration sensor disposed in an intake passage of the internal combustion engine. If the amplitude of fluctuations in engine speed becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value, it is determined that there is an anomaly in engine output. In addition, if an anomaly in engine output is detected during purge and if no anomaly in engine output is detected during stoppage of purge, an ECU determines that an anomaly has occurred in the intake-oxygen concentration sensor, cancels correction of the fuel injection amount based on an output from the intake-oxygen concentration sensor during purge, and corrects the fuel injection amount on the basis of outputs from exhaust-gas air-fuel ratio sensors.

摘要:
Fuel vapor is introduced into an intake passage of a direct fuel injection type engine by a fuel vapor purge apparatus. The intake passage is provided with an intake oxygen concentration sensor for detecting the amount of fuel vapor in intake air. An ECU corrects the amount of fuel injection from each direct fuel injection valve in accordance with the amount of fuel vapor detected, and changes the fuel injection starting timing and the fuel injection ending timing in accordance with the amount of fuel vapor.
摘要:
An EGR apparatus includes a EGR passage for allowing part of exhaust gas discharged from a combustion chamber of an engine to an exhaust passage to flow in an intake passage and recirculate back to the combustion chamber, and an EGR valve provided in the EGR passage to regulate an EGR passage in this passage. The EGR valve includes a valve seat, a valve element to be seatable on the valve seat, and a step motor for driving the valve element to open and close. An electronic control device controls the EGR valve to repeat opening and closing of the valve element between a closing position and a small opening position in order to remove foreign matters adhered to the valve seat or valve element during deceleration fuel cutoff of the engine.
