    摘要: The present invention has a structure of a lean-burn combustion engine 25 for burning a fuel by increasing the proportion of air to the fuel, a swirl control valve 8 for regulating a swirl intensity of combustion air inside an intake port in a lean-burn operation range of the lean-burn combustion engine 25, an accelerator pedal 1 for setting an acceleration request of a driver, and mechanical connection for mechanically connecting the accelerator pedal 1 to the swirl control valve 8, having a mechanism capable of setting the swirl control valve opening so that a lean limit can be expanded. Also, the invention has a structure of an intake system including the swirl control valve for regulating a swirl intensity of combustion air inside an intake port and a a driving mechanism for the valve can be produced easily and at a low cost, and a lean limit can be expanded.

    摘要: A vehicle control apparatus and method therefor has a number of controllers (50, 63, 56) interconnected with one another by a data highway (10), the engine controllers being formed for example by a CPU. The engine controllers are each connected to a sensor for sensing a vehicle parameter and the controllers are also connected to a respective actuator (53, 58) for varying the associated vehicle parameter. The apparatus is arranged so that the controllers operate in cooperation with one another so that two or more controllers cooperate to control the same object or purpose. As an example (shown in FIG. 20) an engine controller (50) provides torque data to a transmission controller (63) which in turn provides data to a throttle controller (56), whereby a gear shift is effected by the transmission controller (63) in synchronism with the throttle controller (56) changing the position of a throttle actuator so that a jerk-free gear shift is effected. In another embodiment (shown in FIG. 33) an engine controller (50) cooperates with a throttle controller (56) and a suspension controller (64) whereby data from the engine controller determining whether the vehicle is accelerating or braking is transmitted to the throttle controller (56) and the suspension controller (64) and the throttle position is adjusted in synchronism with the suspension controller (64) for adjusting the front-back ride height of the vehicle. Thus, for example, when the vehicle is braking, the throttle controller closes the throttle and the suspension controller increases the ride height of the front dampers and reduces the ride height of the rear dampers. Other embodiments control ignition timing and fuel injection in cooperation with gear shift (FIG. 37), control fuel injection pulse width and ignition timing in cooperation with a knock detector controller (FIG. 49), and upon detection of abnormal data received from sensors display a warning of the abnormality, and in the event of seriously abnormal data being detected transmits a pseudo signal to ensure that the vehicle keeps running.
