摘要:
A control apparatus which is capable of determining an abnormality of a stopping operation of an exhaust valve without using a dedicated sensor for detecting the abnormality in an internal combustion engine including a valve stop mechanism capable of maintaining the exhaust valve and an intake valve in a valve closed state is provided. It is discriminated whether or not there is a change to a rich side of a air fuel ratio of gas detected by a main A/F sensor at the time of a fuel cut for all the cylinders associated with a valve stop request for the exhaust valves and intake valves of all the cylinders. Then, when it is discriminated that there is the change to the rich side of the air fuel ratio of the gas, it is determined that the stopping operation of the exhaust valve is not performed in a normal manner in at least one cylinder.

Valve stopping control is performed that changes an operating state of an intake valve and an exhaust valve to a closed-valve stopped state when executing a fuel-cut operation. A device is provided that sets an in-cylinder return-time target air-fuel ratio for an initial two return cycles when returning from a fuel-cut operation. The return-time target air-fuel ratio is set so that respective air-fuel ratios of air-fuel mixtures of fuel and air injected into the same cylinder for respective cycles during the initial return cycles each become values that fall within a combustible range, and so that even if a total amount of fuel injected into the same cylinder for the initial return cycles is supplied into the cylinder during an arbitrary single cycle, the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture of the total amount of fuel and air becomes a value that falls within the combustible range.
摘要:
A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine is provided, the control apparatus being capable of effectively suppressing the inflow of fresh air into a catalyst due to an operational delay of the valve stop mechanism when an execution request for fuel cut is issued. There is provided a valve stop mechanism capable of changing the operational states of intake valves and exhaust valves between a valve operating state and a valve closed/stopped state. The operational states of the intake and exhaust valves are changed into the valve closed/stopped state, if the engine rotational speed decreases to or below a predetermined rotational speed when the engine rotational speed is higher than the predetermined rotational speed in a case where an execution request for fuel cut is detected and the temperature of the catalyst is not lower than a predetermined temperature during operation of an internal combustion engine.
摘要:
Internal combustion engine air-fuel ratio control apparatus and method in which the target air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas flowing into an exhaust-gas purification catalyst unit is controlled through at least proportional-integral control such that the correction amount per unit time of the oxygen amount in said catalyst unit is maintained constant. When the intake air amount is smaller than a predetermined amount and the air-fuel ratio detected by an oxygen sensor provided downstream of the catalyst unit is rich, the target air-fuel ratio is controlled to suppress an increase in the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust-gas purification catalyst unit. Accordingly, even if rapid acceleration operation is performed in a state where the intake air amount is extremely small and the air-fuel ratio detected by the oxygen sensor is rich, NOx in exhaust gas can be sufficiently removed through reduction reactions at the exhaust-gas purification catalyst unit.

摘要:
A fuel injection amount is controlled so that the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas flowing into a catalyst (6) oscillates around a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. When it is estimated that the level of oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst (6) is lower than a predetermined reference capacity, the amplitude of the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas which oscillates around the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is reduced by controlling the fuel injection amount. The level of the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst (6) is estimated based on the amplitude of the output signal from an oxygen sensor (14) disposed downstream of the catalyst (6).

摘要:
An acceleration request is detected in accordance with an accelerator opening PA (time t3 in FIG. 5B). If the detected acceleration request is a moderate acceleration request, an idle opening TA0 is set as an actual throttle opening TA (FIG. 5E), and a request for retarding an intake valve timing VVT is issued (FIG. 5D). Recovery from fuel cut-off is achieved at time t4 at which a misfire limit value (combustion assurance VVT value L) is reached by an actual VVT value (FIG. 5A).

摘要:
The device for detecting the air-fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine comprising an air-fuel ratio sensor arranged in an exhaust system of the engine and passes an electric current when an electric voltage is applied thereto, an air-fuel ratio sensor circuit that applies the electric voltage to the sensor, detects the current and outputs a signal proportional to the magnitude of the detected current, and a memory for storing a conversion map for calculating the air-fuel ratio in the engine corresponding to the output of the air-fuel ratio sensor circuit by the use of a reference air-fuel ratio sensor and the reference air-fuel ratio sensor circuit. The device further comprises: a sensor for determining the sensor inactive state when the difference between a first coolant temperature at the last engine stopped time and a second coolant temperature at the next engine start up time is equal to or more than a determined value; and a map for calibrating an air-fuel ratio in the engine calculated from the conversion map stored in the memory in response to the output from the sensor circuit based on the error between the output data of the sensor circuit when the sensor is determined to be in an inactive state by the sensor and the output data from the sensor circuit corresponding to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio in the engine that is calculated from the conversion map, thereby correctly and very precisely detecting the air-fuel ratio.
