    摘要: An engine controlling method is provided, which includes, during motoring of the engine, outputting, by an in-cylinder pressure sensor, to a controller a signal indicative of a reference pressure corresponding to a pressure change after an intake valve of a cylinder of the engine is closed when not performing fuel injection, and then injecting, by an injector, fuel for analysis into the cylinder at a specific timing after the intake valve is closed. The method includes, by the controller, acquiring a crank angle period from the intake valve close timing, through the fuel injection, to a timing of the in-cylinder pressure reaching the reference pressure based on signals from the in-cylinder pressure sensor and a crank angle sensor, and determining a property of the injected fuel by comparing the acquired crank angle period with that of a standard fuel based on stored information on a property of the standard fuel.

    摘要: Where a relationship between maximum heat release rate timing and a first combustion period length (that is, a reference relationship) in the case where an engine rotation speed of a spark-ignition internal combustion engine is a selected speed and a valve opening characteristic of an intake valve is a reference characteristic is expressed by the function are f=f(θdQpeak) where θdQpeak denotes the maximum heat release rate timing and aref denotes the first combustion period length, when the valve opening characteristic of the intake valve changes to a specific characteristic from this state, a first combustion period length for selected maximum heat release rate timing is estimated on the basis of the mathematical expression a=f(θ2)+Δa1 where θ2 denotes the selected maximum heat release rate timing and a denotes the first combustion period length.
