摘要:
A secondary air intake system for adding air to the intake of an internal combustion engine includes an air control valve for changing the open area of a secondary air intake passage. The air control valve is opened and closed from a first and second pressure supply means. A first pressure supply means gradually supplies the first and second control pressure to operate the air control valve and open and close the secondary air intake passage in response to an air-fuel ratio signal. The first pressure supply means also supplies the second control pressure independent of the air-fuel ratio signal during a predetermined engine operating state. A second pressure supply means supplies the second control pressure separately of the first pressure supply means during a predetermined engine operating state.

An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine mounted on a vehicle with a transmission, including an oxygen concentration sensor producing an output signal whose level is substantially proportional to an oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas, effects a feedback control of the air-fuel ratio of mixture to be supplied to the engine toward a target value determined on the basis of various parameters of the engine operation and corrected in response to a magnitude of atmospheric pressure, so that the higher a shift position of the transmission gear is, the leaner the target air-fuel ratio becomes. Thus, the fuel consumption in a light load operating condition of the engine is decreased and the driveability of the vehicle is improved.

A method for directing an up shift operation for a vehicle having an engine and a manual transmission generates a direction of an up-shift operation when the vehicle speed exceeds a reference speed determined for each gear position. The reference speed of a medium speed gear is varied according to the degree of acceleration at the time of the previous up-shift operation. If the up-shift operation from a low speed gear to the medium speed gear is effected while the vehicle is not accelerating rapidly, the reference speed for an up shift operation from the medium speed gear is lowered. Further, if a cruising state of the vehicle with the medium speed gear after the acceleration is continued for more than a predetermined time period, the reference speed for an up-shift operation from the medium speed gear is also lowered.

摘要:
An air/fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine having an air supply system for controlling the air/fuel ratio of mixture to be supplied to the engine, and an oxygen concentration sensing device for sensing the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine. The oxygen concentration sensing device includes a pair of solid electrolyte members operating as an oxygen pump element to which a pump current is supplied, and a sensor cell element. An open/close valve is provided in the air supply system and controlled by a duty ratio control circuit which causes the open/close valve to be opened for a calculated valve open time period in each of successive predetermined cycles in response to a result of detection of air/fuel ratio. When the calculated valve open time period exceeds a predetermined upper limit, the supply of the pump current is stopped so that the blackening phenomenon of the solid electrolyte members is avoided.

摘要:
An apparatus for sensing the concentration of oxygen in a gas such as engine exhaust gas includes an oxygen concentration sensor formed of an oxygen pump element and a sensor cell element, each based on a solid electrolytic member formed of a material such as ZrO.sub.2, and is provided with a limiter circuit which functions to reduce the level of current supplied to the oxygen pump element when a voltage produced by the sensor cell element indicates that this current level is such as to produce a "blackening" phenomenon whereby deterioration of the oxygen pump element will occur and oxygen concentration sensing reliability will be lowered. The apparatus also includes a delay circuit which functions such that a reduction of the oxygen pump element current level is delayed by a predetermined time interval, after an increase of the sensor cell element voltage to the "blanking" region is detected, thereby preventing fluctuations in the oxygen pump element current level due to transient increases in sensor cell element voltage and increasing the sensing reliability.

An air intake side secondary air supply system for an internal combustion engine having an air intake side secondary air supply system includes an oxygen concentration sensor, and controls a duty ratio of opening and closing of an open/close valve disposed in the air intake side secondary air supply passage by determining a valve open period within each duty cycle of control operation in accordance with a result of comparison between the level of the output signal of the oxygen concentration sensor and a level corresponding to a target air-fuel ratio. The duty ratio of opening and closing of the open/close valve is maintained within a predetermined duty ratio range so as to improve effectiveness of the control of the secondary air supply as well as to avoid the generation of over lean or over rich mixture.

An oxygen concentration sensing device for use in an air-fuel ratio control system of an internal combustion engine includes a pair of solid electrolyte members having oxygen ion permeability which are disposed in the exhaust gas of the engine and arranged to face each other forming a predetermined gap portion between them. Each of the solid electrolyte members is provided with a pair of electrodes. One of the solid electrolyte members is operative as an oxygen pump element when a predetermined constant electric current is supplied across the electrodes thereof. An electric potential developed across the electrodes of the other one of the solid electrolyte members operative as a cell element is supplied to a comparing means in which the input signal from the solid electrolyte member is compared with a predetermined reference potential and a result of comparison is provided as an oxygen concentration detection signal. In an application of the oxygen concentration sensing device according to the invention in an air-fuel ratio control system, the magnitude of the constant current supplied to the oxygen pump element is varied with the value of a target air-fuel ratio which is controlled in response to various operational parameters of the engine.
