Abstract: A control device for a heater for an air fuel ratio sensor attached close to a sensor element of an air fuel ratio sensor located in an intake passage of an intake passage.The control device comprises an ambient temperature related parameter detecting means for detecting a parameter related an ambient temperature of the air fuel ratio sensor, an intake air amount related parameter detecting means for detecting a parameter related amount of fresh intake air introduced into intake passage, and supply power controlling means for controlling supply power based on a parameter detected by an ambient temperature related parameter detecting means and a parameter detected by an intake air amount related parameter detecting means.

Abstract: A device for detecting a pressure in a combustion chamber comprises a combustion pressure sensor arranged in a cylinder head gasket so that a pressure detecting surface of the sensor is disposed substantially in parallel to a surface of a cylinder head or a cylinder block, and a pressure inlet is provided above the pressure detecting surface to introduce the combustion pressure to the pressure detecting surface. Due to the position of the pressure inlet above the pressure detecting surface, the tightening force of cylinder head bolts is not applied to the pressure detecting surface of the sensor, and thus the reliability of the pressure detection is improved.
