    摘要: An electronic engine controller is configured to execute a process of adapting a base value of the volumetric efficiency of an engine through the addition of a correction value of the volumetric efficiency. The process includes comparing an estimated mass air flow value calculated using a speed-density equation, with an actual mass air flow value measured by a mass air flow (MAF) sensor. A percentage error of the estimated mass air flow value as compared to the actual mass air flow value is calculated. When the percentage error indicates that the air flow is at steady state, then the process updates the VE correction value, by integrating the percentage error. The new correction value, thus computed, is then stored in a cell of an array corresponding to the current engine operating condition. The process is configured to add the correction value to the corresponding base value to produce an updated value of the VE, valid for that operating condition. The process accommodates changes in the volumetric efficiency of the engine due to part aging and deposit build-up over time, among other things. The updated VE value may then be used for mass air flow estimation and accordingly for fueling control as well.

    摘要: A camshaft phaser system includes an oil control spool valve having two opposing springs to center the spool at a rest position to lock the phaser rotor by blocking supply/vent to both the C1 and C2 chambers, obviating a conventional locking pin mechanism. A double-acting solenoid actuator moves the spool to first and second positions, supplying or venting C1 and C2, respectively. The rotor may be locked hydraulically at any position between full advance and full retard. A system for monitoring the rotational positions of the crankshaft and camshaft includes magnets disposed on opposite sides of the shaft axis. A magnetic sensing element senses the rotational direction of the magnetic field for each position of the shaft. An engine control module uses the position signal and an algorithm to lock the rotor at a desired position.

    摘要: A control method for a direct injection gasoline engine operable in stratified or homogenous combustion modes and having a fuel vapor purge system estimates the hydrocarbon concentration of purge vapor during open loop fuel control in the stratified combustion mode, and controls the fuel injection quantity and the combustion mode based on the estimated concentration. The hydrocarbon concentration of the purge vapor is estimated during open-loop fuel control by measuring the air/fuel ratio error during steady state operation with no fuel vapor purging, and using such air/fuel ratio error to normalize the air/fuel error observed during steady state operation with purge control. The fuel injection quantity is compensated for the estimated purge vapor concentration, and engine combustion mode is determined in part based on a comparison of the estimated concentration with a calibrated threshold.

    摘要: A method of detecting a crank signal error that includes incrementing a crank tooth counter in response to detecting a crank signal, comparing the crank tooth counter to an expected value when a cam signal is detected, and indicating a crank signal error if the crank tooth counter is not substantially equal to the expected value. This method is advantageous because a cam interval used to determine when to start and stop counting crank tooth pulses is automatically adjusted for variations in engine speed, while the prior art time based methods must adjust the time interval for variations in engine speed.
