Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine includes providing a vehicle having an internal combustion gasoline engine including multiple cylinders and wherein the engine is capable of running on at least one of a plurality firing fractions, providing a vacuum offset (Offsetvac) to adjust airflow capacity for each of the plurality of firing fractions, determining a torque capacity of each of the plurality firing fractions and a plurality of available firing fractions that provides at least enough torque capacity to accommodate a current torque requested (Treq), determining a plurality of viable firing fractions of the plurality of available firing fractions, and determining and implementing an optimal firing fraction of the viable firing fractions if the optimal firing fraction provides enough fuel economy benefit over a current firing fraction.

Abstract: A method to adjust an oil control valve actuation response time using cylinder valve diagnostic results includes commanding an engine cylinder to deactivate/reactive when conditions are met and then detecting if a deactivation/reactivation response time failure has occurred by analyzing the cylinder diagnostics results. If a predetermined number of failures are detected at the cylinder within a predetermined number of engine cycles then the engine controller operates to adjust the oil control valve response time to improve the response time accuracy.

Abstract: A variable displacement internal combustion engine control system includes an engine having cylinders, each having an intake valve and an exhaust valve. An engine control module determines when to activate and deactivate the cylinders, and when to purge gas entrained in an oil system. A solenoid-actuated hydraulic control valve communicates with the engine control module to deactivate and activate individual cylinders. An air accumulation estimation program running multiple times per second for each of the cylinders identifies an approximate gas volume accumulating in a control port of the solenoid-actuated hydraulic control valve and if the gas volume has reached a predetermined threshold allows a purge pulse to be issued. The purge pulse initiates at a purge pulse initiation point during one of intake valve lift, exhaust valve lift, and when valve lifters of both the intake and the exhaust valve are on a base circle providing zero lift.
