摘要:
An object of the present invention is to carry out air-fuel ratio learning to a high accuracy even in a region such as the idling region wherein the number of acquisitions of air-fuel ratio feedback correction values within a predetermined period is small. Average values A for one fluctuation period of an air-fuel ratio feedback correction coefficient .alpha. are computed and stored in order of computation in a RAM, and an arithmetical mean value B obtained. A weighted average value C of a previous learning correction coefficient .sub.KL and the arithmetical mean value B is then obtained (C=X.multidot.B+(1-X).multidot.K.sub.L). The weighting proportion X is set larger the larger the number of acquisitions of the average value A. C is updated/set as a new learning correction coefficient K.sub.L. In this way, since the updating/setting treatment of the learning correction coefficient K.sub.L is carried out in accordance with the acquisition conditions of .alpha., then even in a region such as the idling region wherein the number of acquisitions of the average value A per predetermined period is small, updating/setting of the learning correction coefficient K.sub.L can be expedited with minimal influence from an unstable .alpha. immediately after commencing air-fuel ratio feedback control. Therefore learning opportunities similar to those for the high speed region can be provided. Moreover due to learning being expedited, the learning correction coefficient K.sub.L can have a higher reliability than for a conventional arrangement.

An angle of spray of a fuel injection valve is narrowed when a temperature of an internal combustion engine is low, whereas the angle of spray of the fuel injection valve is widened in a low and intermediate load region where the temperature of the internal combustion engine is high. The angle of spray of the fuel injection valve is narrowed and also a spray condition is controlled so that the fuel spray comes unevenly in contact with an exhaust side portion of a valve head of an intake valve, in a high load region where the temperature of the internal combustion engine is high.

摘要:
An air-fuel ratio controlling apparatus carries out air-fuel ratio feedback control with the use of air-fuel ratio sensors disposed on the upsteam and downstream sides of a three-way catalytic converter. An air-fuel ratio feedback correction coefficient calculated based on an output value of the upstream air-fuel ratio sensor is corrected according to a correction quantity obtained based on an output value of the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor. This correction quantity is calculated according to a learned collective correction quantity uniformly applicable for a whole operation region, and learned regional correction quantites applicable for divided operation regions, respectively. When the learned collective correction quantity is corrected through addition, a portion added to the learned collective correction quantity is subtracted from each of the learned regional correction quantities. This subtraction is carried out only on the learned regional correction quantities of the operation regions whose degree of progress of learning is greater than a predetermined value. This arrangement improves the speed and accuracy of the air-fuel ratio learning control carried out according to the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor, and promotes the learning of an operation region in which learning opportunity is small.

Purge control valves are mounted to purge pipings arranged in parallel for supplying purge gas from a canister to an engine. A flow rate of the purge control valve having a larger flow rate size is controlled in a step mode, and a flow rate equal to or smaller than a variation quantity in said step mode is controlled by the purge control valve having a smaller flow rate size.
摘要:
The present invention aims at preventing such a situation that anyone of the divided injection amounts becomes less than a minimum compensation amount for a fuel injection valve, in case of conducting a two-step injection (weakly stratified combustion) in which a part of fuel is injected during intake stroke and the remaining fuel is injected during compression stroke. To this end, at the time of instructing to conduct the two-step injection, a whole injection amount TI is divided into: an injection amount TIH for homogeneous combustion to be injected during intake stroke, and an injection amount TIS for stratified combustion to be injected during compression stroke, based on a division ratio corresponding to a target air-fuel ratio. Further, each of the injection amounts TIH and TIS after division is compared with a minimum compensation amount MIN for the fuel injection valve. Based on the result of the comparison, the injection amount, which has a smaller division ratio, is set to be zero, and the injection amount, which has a larger division ratio, is set to be the whole injection amount TI, when either one of the injection amounts TIH and TIS is judged to be less than the minimum compensation amount MIN. Alternatively, the injection amount, which has the smaller division ratio, is set to be the minimum compensation amount MIN, and the injection amount, which has the larger division ratio, is set to be the remainder obtained by subtracting the minimum compensation amount MIN from the whole injection amount TI.
