摘要:
A control apparatus for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine includes pressure sensors used for acquiring combustion chamber pressure data for each engine cylinder, during each of a series of selection intervals respectively corresponding to that cylinder, with each selection interval corresponding to a specific angular displacement of the crankshaft and having a timing determined with respect to a reference piston position in the corresponding cylinder. The timing of the selection intervals is adjusted in accordance with current conditions of the engine, such as a fuel injection mode, to be appropriate for monitoring combustion conditions in the cylinders.
摘要:
A single fuel injection is performed in either one of cylinders during fuel cut control of a diesel engine to sense torque generated with the single fuel injection based upon an increase amount of rotation speed of a crankshaft at the time. Presence/absence of abnormality in an injection start timing of an injector is determined based on a difference in torque caused when the single fuel injection is performed at multiple command injection start timings. Thus, the presence/absence of the abnormality in the injection start timing can be sensed without using a nozzle lift sensor, whereby inhibiting an increase in the number of components.
