摘要:
A microcomputer-based misfire detecting apparatus for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine. A crank angle sensor is coupled to the engine for detecting first and second predetermined angular intervals set before and after a predetermined reference crank position close to a TDC preceding to combustion stroke in each of the cylinders. An acceleration detector is connected to the output of the crank angle sensor for determining an acceleration based on a time ratio between times taken for a crank shaft to rotate through the first and second predetermined angular intervals, respectively, from the output signal of the crank angle sensor. A misfire occurrence detector is connected to the acceleration detector for detecting misfire occurring in the engine cylinder on the basis of the output signal of the acceleration detector.
摘要:
A misfire detection device for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine detects levels of angular acceleration .beta. of the crankshaft corresponding to predetermined phase intervals of respective cylinders. Further, the differences .DELTA..beta. between the levels of angular acceleration corresponding to successively ignited cylinders are calculated as the combustion condition parameters corresponding to respective cylinders, and when the absolute variance .DELTA..beta.R of the levels of combustion condition parameter (i.e., difference of acceleration .DELTA..beta.) corresponding to cylinders whose ignition timings are separated by 360 degrees of the crank angle is continuously less than a predetermined judgment level, an occurrence of continuous misfires is detected.
