A fuel injection control system for an engine includes fuel injection valves, each of which injects fuel to one cylinder a plurality of times during each cycle. The system has an arithmetic device for calculating a required fuel injection amount based on driving conditions and a trailing side injection capability of a trailing side injection time point, a determination device for comparing the required fuel injection amount with the trailing side injection capability and determining which is greater, and a fuel injection controller for setting a leading side injection time point and a trailing side injection time point and setting a leading side injection amount and a trailing side injection amount. The fuel injection controller carries out a fuel injection only at the trailing side injection time point when the required fuel injection amount is not greater than the trailing side injection capability and divides the fuel injection between a fuel injection at the leading side injection time point and a fuel injection at the trailing side injection time point when the required fuel injection amount is greater than the trailing side injection capability.

An engine control system establishes the injection amount of fuel based on a predicted amount of intake air at the end of an intake stroke based on a rate of change in the amounts of intake air between previous and current periods. An ignition time is based on an actual amount of intake air detected after the end of the intake stroke.

The invention relates to an apparatus for diagnosing thermostat trouble in an engine cooling system comprising a thermostat which works to open a valve to make a cooling water flow through a radiator when the cooling water temperature for an engine becomes more than a predetermined temperature, or to close the valve to make the cooling water bypass a radiator when this temperature becomes less than the predetermined temperature. The apparatus comprises means for calculating a radiation heat amount from a radiator received by the cooling water for the engine and means for determining whether the thermostat trouble has occurred based on the radiation heat amount calculated by the means for calculating the radiation heat amount.

An air-fuel ratio control system for an engine for controlling an amount of a fuel mixture to be delivered into a combustion chamber so that an air-fuel ratio of the fuel mixture attains a target air-fuel ratio performs selecting one of a plurality of predetermined target air-fuel ratios according to engine operating conditions, controlling an amount of a fuel mixture so as to attain a selected target air-fuel ratio, and changing a speed at which the target air-fuel ratio is changed from one to another ratio higher with an increase in deviation of the other target air-fuel ratio from the one target air-fuel ratio.

A catalyst degradation determination apparatus having O.sub.2 sensors provided at the upstream and downstream of a catalyst, detects degradation of the catalyst by, during A/F ratio feed-back control since an engine has been started, comparing an integrated value of output values from the upstream O.sub.2 sensor with that of output values from the downstream O.sub.2 sensor. Upon starting integration of the output values from the respective O.sub.2 sensors, change of activated status of the catalyst is judged. If the status of the catalyst is approximately the same as a previous status, the integration is started with previous integrated values. On the other hand, if the status of the catalyst is different from the previous status, the previous integrated values are reset, and the integration of the output values from the respective O.sub.2 sensors is started from the beginning. This prevents erroneous catalyst degradation determination.

A fuel system for feedback controlling an air-to-fuel ratio to maintain an ideally combustible air-fuel mixture includes an evaporation control device, which stores fuel vapors from a fuel tank and purges the fuel vapors stored therein into an intake system, and a fuel vapor evaluation system, which calculates an average of the feedback control parameters, estimates an amount of the fuel vapors stored in the evaporation control means based on the average feedback control parameter, calculates an amount of the fuel vapors replenished into the intake system based on the estimated amount of fuel vapors, and calculates a difference between an amount of fuel necessary for an ideally combustible air-fuel mixture and the replenished amount of fuel vapors. Fuel in an amount equal to the difference is delivered into the intake system.

An air-fuel control system for a lean burn engine which carries out lean burning under specific engine operating conditions causes the engine to burn at an stoichiometric air-fuel ratio regardless of engine operating conditions upon an occurrence of malfunctions of a stratifying device and/or a fuel injection timing control device, so as thereby to enable the engine always to operate in good conditions.

A valve operation verifying system for making verification of valve operation of an EGR valve of a type having a diaphragm elastically deformable according to operating conditions of an engine to admit controlled amounts of exhaust gas that is recirculated into an intake air stream which verifies, on a basis of gas pressure in an EGR passage, whether the diaphragm remains elastically deformable as specified and whether a pressure sensor remains free from freezing, and executes the verification of valve operation of the EGR valve on a basis of a change in the gas pressure in the EGR passage when the EGR valve opens and when it closes, and when the temperature of ambient air is lower than a critical point, verifying that the diaphragm remains elastically deformable as specified and that said pressure sensor is free from freezing.
摘要:
A leakage diagnostic system for making a judgement of leakage of a fuel purge system, which has in order from the side of a fuel tank a control valve, a canister and a purge valve disposed in a purge passage and a relief valve isolating the canister from the atmosphere, based on a rising rate of pressure in the purge passage between the fuel tank and the intake system isolated from the atmosphere after lowering and keeping the interior of the purge passage below specified negative pressure level for a specified period of time. When the interior of the fuel tank increases above a threshold level after a specified period of time, the leakage diagnostic system delivers a judgement of leakage of the purge system.
