In a method for determining an air fuel ratio of an internal combustion engine on the basis of an ion current, for detecting an ion current generated per ignition within a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, the method measures a generation period in which the ion current is greater than a determination value set as long as the ion current is generated, computes a divisor for computing a rate of fluctuation of the generation period of the ion current on the basis of a plurality of measured generation periods, computes the rate of fluctuation of the generation period of the ion current by weighing in a direction of increasing the computed divisor, and determines that an air fuel ratio is excessively high in the case that the calculated rate of fluctuation is equal to or more than a predetermined value.

An ion current detecting apparatus includes a capacitor C that is charged as a spark plug 3 discharges, a Zener diode ZD that limits a maximum voltage of the capacitor C while charging, a detection resistor R2 through which a discharge current of the capacitor C flows, and a comparator circuit 5 that compares a current value of the detection resistor R2 with a predetermined value. A charge quantity Q of the capacitor C at discharge start is set so that, as a consequence of a discharging operation of the capacitor C, discharge duration required until the current value of the detection resistor R2 falls below the predetermined value becomes longer than time duration in which the ion current generated by fuel combustion in the engine combustion chamber lasts. The ion current detecting apparatus according to the present invention quickly and automatically detects degradation in an insulation resistor in the spark plug to ensure a normal operation in engine control.

According to the present invention, in a spark ignition-type internal combustion engine which has a spark plug and mounted in a vehicle, an ion current generated in a combustion chamber through the spark plug after ignition is detected and smoldering of the spark plug is determined on the basis of the detected ion current. An operation state of the internal combustion engine is detected and smoldering of the spark plug is determined based on that the detected ion current satisfies a predetermined condition when the detected operation state falls within an operation determination range set corresponding to an operation range in which an intake port pressure close to an atmospheric pressure is achieved using predetermined engine speed as an upper limit and a predetermined intake port pressure as a lower limit.

The arrangement for mounting a sparkplug of an internal combustion engine includes mounting the sparkplug so that all of the outside electrodes are arranged at an intake port side area and/or an exhaust port side area. Alternatively, in the case where at least one of the outside electrodes is located outside of the above-mentioned areas, no other remaining outside electrodes are arranged at a position that faces that outside electrode across the central electrode.

A magnetic disk device comprises a magnetic disk in which a data zone is formed. An actuator has a voice coil and a head slider carrying a magnetic head, the actuator being swung to move the magnetic head over the disk between an innermost position of the data zone and an outermost position of the data zone. A magnet has a magnetization center and is opposed to the voice coil so that a voice coil motor which swings the actuator is formed, the magnet having a north pole and a south pole confronting each other via the magnetization center. The magnetic disk device is provided so that a deviation of a center of the voice coil from the magnetization center when the magnetic head is in the innermost position of the data zone is substantially equal to a deviation of the center of the voice coil from the magnetization center when the magnetic head is in the outermost position of the data zone.
