    摘要: The present invention is provided to suppress the power consumption, the calorific value, and the volume of an ignition device in an internal combustion engine while suppressing failures in igniting fuel by an ignition plug. To achieve this, a control device 1 for the internal combustion engine includes an ignition control unit that controls energization of an ignition coil 300 that gives electric energy to an ignition plug 200 that discharges in a cylinder 150 of an internal combustion engine 100 to ignite fuel. The ignition control unit controls energization of the ignition coil 300 so that first electric energy is released from the ignition coil 300 while second electric energy is released as electric energy superposed on the first electric energy, the second electric energy changing based on a gas state around the ignition plug 200.

    摘要: A CPU determines that there is a misfire when a relative magnitude of a rotation fluctuation amount ΔT30[0] related to a cylinder subject to the determination in relation to a rotation fluctuation amounts ΔT30[4] of the previous combustion cycle is greater than or equal to the determination value Δth. However, during the execution of a catalyst warm-up process, the CPU uses, in the comparison, the relative magnitude of the rotation fluctuation amount ΔT30[0] in relation to the average ΔT30ave[0] of the smallest five of the rotation fluctuation amounts ΔT30[4] to ΔT30[40] from the past ten combustion cycles.

    摘要: The present invention describes a fuel-management system for minimizing particulate emissions in turbocharged direct injection gasoline engines. The system optimizes the use of port fuel injection (PFI) in combination with direct injection (DI), particularly in cold start and other transient conditions. In the present invention, the use of these control systems together with other control systems for increasing the effectiveness of port fuel injector use and for reducing particulate emissions from turbocharged direct injection engines is described. Particular attention is given to reducing particulate emissions that occur during cold start and transient conditions since a substantial fraction of the particulate emissions during a drive cycle occur at these times. Further optimization of the fuel management system for these conditions is important for reducing drive cycle emissions.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine of a vehicle is equipped with a plurality of cylinders, and ignition devices provided for the cylinders respectively. The vehicle is mounted with an ECU. The ECU performs an ignition timing decision process for deciding a basic ignition timing of the ignition devices in accordance with a load of the internal combustion engine. The ECU performs a misfire determination process for determining that a misfire has occurred on a condition that the torque has decreased below a threshold set in advance. The ECU performs a retardation process for controlling an ignition timing toward a retardation side from the basic ignition timing when a state of the vehicle satisfies a condition determined in advance. A determination on the occurrence of a misfire based on a relationship in magnitude between the torque and the threshold is not made during the retardation process, in the misfire determination process.

    摘要: An applied-ignition internal combustion engine includes first and second combustion chambers, an exhaust-gas system with an exhaust-gas purification system is disposed at the first and second combustion chambers, and an exhaust-gas manifold. An exhaust gas from a combustion of a fuel/air mixture firstly flows through the exhaust-gas manifold and subsequently flows through the exhaust-gas purification system. A first section of the exhaust-gas system from the first combustion chamber to the exhaust-gas purification system is cooled more than a second section of the exhaust-gas system from the second combustion chamber to the exhaust-gas purification system. The first combustion chamber is operated with a lean fuel/air mixture, the second combustion chamber is operated with a rich fuel/air mixture, and an overall exhaust-gas lambda value at an inlet into the exhaust-gas purification system is stoichiometric.

    摘要: In at least some implementations, a method of controlling a fuel-to-air ratio of a fuel and air mixture supplied to an engine, includes the steps of determining an engine deceleration event, determining the number of engine revolutions required for the engine speed to decrease from one speed threshold to another speed threshold, comparing the number of engine revolutions determined above against a revolution threshold, and making the fuel and air mixture richer if the number of engine revolutions determined above is greater than the revolution threshold. The method may also include determining if, before the engine stabilized at a stable engine speed (which may be an engine idle speed), the engine speed decreased below the stable engine speed as the engine decelerated to the stable engine speed from a speed above the stable engine speed, and making the fuel and air mixture leaner if the determination is affirmative.
