  • Patent number: 5365908
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine and method for operating the engine wherein a leaner than stoichiometric air/fuel ratio is maintained under all running conditions. The desired torque curve is obtained by increasing the amount of boost generated to the intake air charge without enrichening the air/fuel mixture. In addition, an anti-knocking system is incorporated that avoids knocking by retarding the spark advance and, at the same time, providing a leaning in the air/fuel mixture.
