    摘要: A diagnostic apparatus for supplying an assist air in an internal combustion engine includes: an assist air passage for guiding intake air from upstream of a throttle valve to a fuel injector installed downstream of said throttle valve; an assist air control valve installed in said assist air passage; a sensor for detecting an engine operating parameter; and a control unit. The control unit includes a data storage portion and a data processing portion. The control unit selectively forces the assist air control valve open and closed upon detection of at least one predetermined diagnosis condition. The control unit then calculates and stores a plurality of values corresponding to changes in the engine operating parameter based on signals received from the sensor, and determines an occurrence of an error with assist air supply based on comparisons of said values with a predetermined value.

    摘要: A diagnosis system for a wide-range A/F sensor receives an air-fuel ratio (A/F) of air-fuel mixture supplied to an engine for the A/F sensor. An control unit of the diagnosis system corrects an A/F controlled object of a feedback control on the basis of a detection result of the A/F sensor to adjust the A/F at a target A/F. The control unit diagnoses an abnormality of the A/F sensor from variation of the detection value of the A/F sensor during a time period from the start of the switching of the target A/F. The control unit sets a control gain of an A/F feedback control at a value greater than a normal control gain during the diagnosis.

    摘要: A period of from when the starter switch is turned on or from the start of the fuel injection until when the engine rotation speed has reached a predetermined rotation speed, is detected as a parameter representing the starting performance. After the engine rotation speed has reached a predetermined rotation speed, furthermore, the parameter representing a change in the rotation and the parameter representing rising gradient of the rotation-speed are detected. Then, the parameter representing the starting performance, the parameter representing a change in the rotation and the parameter representing a rising gradient of the rotation speed are weighted to detect the fuel property.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to be able to correct for deviation of an actual air-fuel ratio from a point for satisfactory purification performance of an exhaust gas purification catalytic converter, during an interval from immediately after start up until an air-fuel ratio sensor and an exhaust gas purification catalytic converter attain a stable condition. To achieve this, a control constant in an air-fuel ratio feedback control is set and altered during an interval from immediately after start up until the air-fuel ratio sensor and the exhaust gas purification catalytic converter attain a stable condition. In this way, the actual air-fuel ratio can be shifted, and hence the deviation of the actual air-fuel ratio from the point for satisfactory purification performance of the exhaust gas purification catalytic converter during the interval from immediately after start up until the air-fuel ratio sensor and the exhaust gas purification catalytic converter attain a stable condition, can be corrected. Consequently, the situation immediately after start up where the actual air-fuel ratio deviates from the target air-fuel ratio, attributable to the air-fuel ratio sensor and the exhaust gas purification catalytic converter being in an unstable condition, can be suppressed. Therefore the purification efficiency of the exhaust gas purification catalytic converter can be kept high.
