  • Patent number: 6880523
    Abstract: An engine cylinder induction air quantity measuring apparatus includes a controller to calculate an intake manifold inside air quantity of air in an intake manifold of the engine, from a sensed intake air quantity by performing a balance calculation to calculate a balance between an intake manifold inflow air quantity of air flowing into the intake manifold, and an intake manifold outflow air quantity of air flowing out of the intake manifold. In an engine stopping process to stop the engine, the controller controls a throttle opening of a throttle valve to a predetermined stop mode opening greater than an idling mode opening for an idle operation of the engine.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6718939
    Abstract: An engine cylinder induction air quantity measuring apparatus includes a controller to calculate an intake manifold inside air quantity of air in an intake manifold, from a sensed intake air quantity by performing a balance calculation to calculate a balance between an intake manifold inflow air quantity, and an intake manifold outflow air quantity; and to calculate a cylinder induction air quantity in accordance with the intake manifold inside air quantity. The controller is configured to determine whether an engine stop position of the engine is within the valve overlap period; and to set the intake manifold inside air quantity equal to an overlap stop mode final air quantity for use as an initial value of the intake manifold inside air quantity in a next start of the engine when the engine stop position is within the valve overlap period.
