    摘要: A fault diagnosis apparatus for detecting a fault in a fuel evaporative emission suppressing system comprises an electronic control unit. When fault diagnosis execution conditions are fulfilled, the electronic control unit stores an average of integral term values for air-fuel ratio feedback control, operating position of an idling speed control valve, and engine speed, and then actuates a purge control valve of the suppressing system so that the valve opens. In a predetermined time period after the actuation of the purge control valve, the integral term average and the like are stored again. If any changes of the integral term average and other values caused by the actuation of the purge control valve are detected, the suppressing system is concluded to be normal. If no changes are detected, on the other hand, the suppressing system is concluded to be faulty.

    摘要: An apparatus for determining a failure of an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) apparatus includes an electronic control unit. When judging the fulfillment of the failure diagnosis executing condition, the electronic control unit stores the intake pressure detected by a pressure sensor, and then introduces part of the exhaust gas from an engine to an intake passage via an EGR passage to start the EGR for failure diagnosis. Thereafter, the intake pressure is detected again. If a significant change in intake pressure does not occur before and after the execution of the EGR for failure diagnosis, it is judged that the EGR apparatus is faulty. If the failure diagnosis executing condition becomes unfulfilled during the execution of failure diagnosis, the EGR for failure diagnosis is stopped, and the failure diagnosis entailing EGR is prohibited from the time when the EGR for failure diagnosis is stopped until a predetermined period of time has elapsed, by which the deterioration in riding quality and drivability of the vehicle is prevented.

    摘要: A fault diagnosis apparatus for detecting a fault in a fuel evaporative emission suppressing system, if it is concluded that an engine (1) is being operated in an operating state fulfilling fault diagnosis execution conditions, detects the current valve opening position of an idling speed control (ISC) valve (8) and then drives a purge control valve (46) to open the same. If a relatively high load is applied to the engine at this time, the threshold value determining the operating sensitivity of the ISC valve is so corrected as to be decreased. When a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the moment when the valve opening position of the ISC valve is detected, the valve opening position of the ISC valve is detected again. If the deviation between these valve opening positions is not larger than the threshold value, it is concluded that the purge air introduction by the drive of the purge control valve is not performed, that is, it is concluded that the valve is faulty. Since the operating sensitivity of the ISC valve increases as an engine load increases, erroneous diagnosis is prevented.

    摘要: A method for detecting a misfire by fluctuation in crankshaft rotation in which the occurrence of a misfire can be detected exactly by eliminating the effect of detection error in detecting the fluctuation in crankshaft rotation, caused by the error in the construction of a crank angle sensor. By succeedingly receiving pulses from the crank angle sensor, a processor detects a time interval taken from the entering into a crankshaft rotation angle region, relating to a cylinder corresponding to both pulses, to the leaving therefrom (S2), calculates the crankshaft angular acceleration D.omega..sub.n by using the correction factor calculated on the basis of the above detected time interval, and the time interval determined by dividing the time taken for one rotation of the crankshaft by the number of cylinders (S3, S4), the latter interval being free from sensor error, and detects the occurrence of a misfire when the calculated value D.omega..sub.n is less than the decision value (S5 through S7).

    摘要: A misfire detection method is provided, which method makes it possible to accurately detect the occurrence/absence of misfire by eliminating a detection error in misfire detection. This error is caused by a vibrational increase or decrease of the rotational changing rate of a crankshaft after a misfire state occurs. A processor, which receives pulse outputs from a crank angle sensor, calculates in sequence angular accelerations D.omega..sub.n-2, D.omega..sub.n-1, D.omega..sub.n, and D.omega..sub.n+1 in crank angle areas which correspond to a preceding cylinder, two cylinders checked for misfire, and a succeeding cylinder, respectively. If the values D.omega..sub.n-1 and D.omega..sub.n n significantly decrease in comparison with the values D.omega..sub.n-2 and D.omega..sub.n-1, respectively, then it is tentatively determined that misfire has occurred in both cylinders checked. Then If the value D.omega..sub.n+1 significantly increases compared to the value D.omega..sub.n, then the restoration to the normal combustion state is confirmed, and the occurrence of misfire in the two cylinders checked is definitely determined.

    摘要: A method for determining a failure of an exhaust gas recalculation (EGR) apparatus in which a failure of the EGR apparatus is determined by determining whether a difference between an intake manifold pressure developed when an EGR valve is open and that developed when the EGR valve is closed falls within a specified range, the EGR valve being temporarily opened and closed while failure determination is being implemented. The failure determination is aborted so as to prevent erroneous determination, if a variation of the engine speed exceeds a specified value during the failure determination, or if a variation of the opening degree of an idling speed control (ISC) valve, disposed in a bypass passage installed in an intake passage of an engine in a manner bypassing a throttle valve, exceeds a specified value during the failure determination, or if a fuel control mode changes during the failure determination. Alternatively, to prevent erroneous determination, an intake manifold pressure difference is corrected in accordance with a variation of the engine speed or a variation of the ISC valve opening degree during the failure determination, or the ISC valve opening degree is fixed during the failure determination.

    摘要: A misfire detection method based on fluctuation in crankshaft rotation, in which a time interval required for the crankshaft to rotate over an angle region associated with a cylinder checked for misfire is detected in response to pulses supplied from a crank angle sensor having vanes. Next, a deviation of the crankshaft angular acceleration D .omega..sub.n, calculated based on the thus detected time interval and corresponding to the cylinder checked for misfire, from the angular acceleration D .omega..sub.n-3, corresponding to a cylinder belonging to the cylinder group to which the cylinder checked for misfire belongs, is compared with a determination value, and an occurrence/absence of misfire is detected in accordance with a result of the comparison. By using the deviation between the angular acceleration values calculated based on the time intervals detected through the use of the same vane, the bad effect of structural errors of the vanes is canceled, to thereby prevent erroneous misfire detection caused by the vane errors.

    摘要: A failure determination method for an O.sub.2 sensor is provided wherein the air-fuel ratio of a mixture is maintained at a value which produces a leaner or richer air-fuel ratio than a stoichiometric ratio by a predetermined value, for a predetermined time after an engine starts operating in an idle region, to thereby make the oxygen concentration of exhaust gas surrounding the O.sub.2 sensor uniform. Subsequently, the air-fuel ratio is forcibly subjected to an oscillatory change with a predetermined amplitude of .+-.10 to 15% of the stoichiometric ratio with respect to the stoichiometric ratio at a predetermined frequency of several Hz, to determine abnormality of the O.sub.2 sensor based on the change of the output voltage of the O.sub.2 sensor.
