Abstract: A method of determining a sliding camshaft actuator pin position based on engine crankshaft angle includes commanding a sliding camshaft actuator to perform a valve step shift, and monitoring an actuator's pin position during the valve step shift command. At least one crank angle is measured when the actuator pin position reaches or exceeds at least one predetermined pin position threshold and at least one remedial action is performed when the actuator pin position does not correlate to the at least one measured crank angle.

Abstract: A cylinder-discriminating device for an internal combustion engine is provided. A reference timing signal is generated whenever the engine rotates through a predetermined rotational angle. A discharge period is detected based on a sparking voltage produced in a particular cylinder or a particular cylinder group in response to an ignition timing signal generated in synchronism with generation of the reference timing signal. Cylinder discrimination is carried out to discriminate between cylinders or between cylinder groups, based on the detected discharge period. In another form, discharge periods are detected based on sparking voltages produced in respective cylinders or respective cylinder groups in response to an ignition timing signal generated in synchronism with generation of the reference timing signal. Cylinder discrimination is carried out to discriminate between the cylinders or between the cylinder groups, based on the detected discharge periods.

Abstract: A small, light and low cost ignition distributor having improved rotary detection accuracy can be realized. A pole piece having a pickup coil wound on it and bypass pole pieces having no pickup coil are arranged on the ignition distributor. The distance between the pole piece having a pickup coil and the bypass pole pieces is about 1.5 times as long as the distance between protrusions formed on the peripheral portion of a rotary body. When the distance between the pole piece having a pickup coil and a reluctor is minimum, the distance between the bypass pole pieces and the reluctor is maximum, and the linkage of magnetic flux of the pickup coil is maximum. When the distance between the pole piece having a pickup coil and the reluctor is maximum, the distance between the bypass pole pieces and the reluctor is minimum, and the magnetic flux bypasses the pole piece having a pickup coil and passes through the bypass pole pieces. Accordingly, the change of the magnetic flux passing through the pickup coil can be made to be large, and the change of the generated voltage can be made to be larger so that the rotary detection accuracy is improved.
