  • Patent number: 5494017
    Abstract: A reference angle signal which provides a reference for ignition control of each cylinder is output together with a cylinder discrimination signal for matching the reference angle signal with the respective cylinder, and ignition control carried out for separate cylinders on the basis of the cylinder discrimination results from the cylinder discrimination signal. When there is an abnormality in the cylinder discrimination signal and cylinder judgment becomes nonfunctional, the reference angle signal is matched with the respective cylinder in the ignition order under the normal conditions up until the occurrence of the abnormality, and ignition is carried out normally in the separate cylinders. As a result, even if cylinder discrimination by the cylinder discrimination signal becomes nonfunctional, ignition for separate cylinders can be continued, so that the engine can keep running.

  • Patent number: 5261297
    Abstract: A control system for automatic transmission is provided in a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine and an automatic transmission associated with the engine. The engine is operable on a fuel which is a mixture of gasoline and alcohol. The control system comprises an alcohol sensor for sensing the alcohol concentration in the fuel; a first device for deriving an engine load parameter which represents the load applied to the engine; a second device for correcting the engine load parameter with reference to the alcohol concentration sensed by the alcohol sensor; and a third device for controlling a line pressure of the transmission in accordance with the corrected engine load parameter.

  • Patent number: 5239966
    Abstract: An electronic control fuel injection apparatus for a crank chamber compression type 2-cycle engine which compensates a fuel injection amount predetermined by an opening degree of an engine intake air system and an engine speed in response to a fuel amount reduction rate allocated by using a opening degree of the engine intake air system and an engine speed if the engine speed enters an acceleration loss region during a predetermined deceleration and or re-acceleration of the engine while a deceleration of the engine is detected.

  • Patent number: 5233965
    Abstract: A fuel injection quantity control system for starting a two-cycle engine. The control system calculates an initial fuel injection quantity by correcting a basic fuel injection quantity according to a subtrahend to be applied to a time factor which is determined depending on a cranking time. The time factor is differently set for a first engine start operation and second or later engine start operation, thereby improving restart of the engine.

  • Patent number: 5205255
    Abstract: A starting time engine speed control device is provided for controlling fuel to be injected by correcting an amount thereof within a predetermined period of time after the start of an internal combustion engine using a starting time fuel injection control with respect to a basic fuel control. The engine is mounted on a vehicle and has a clutch mechanism which is coupled when engine speed exceeds a coupling engine speed, and the starting time engine speed control device includes a control arrangement adapted to control the fuel to be injected by gradually increasingly correcting the amount thereof in accordance with increasing engine speed up to said coupling engine speed using the starting time fuel injection control.

  • Patent number: 5074271
    Abstract: Herein disclosed is a fuel injection rate control system for starting a two-cycle engine having a fuel injection valve, which comprises: means for correcting the starting basic fuel injection rate, which is stored in advance in terms of an engine temperature, in accordance with the cranking engine speed at the enging starting time; and means for performing a correction in accordance with the cranking time period, wherein the improvement comprises, as the means for correcting the starting basic fuel injection rate in accordance with the cranking engine speed: first engine speed correction coefficient setting means for setting a first engine speed at a first start of the engine; means for deciding second later starts of the engine; and second engine speed correction coefficient setting means for setting an engine speed correction coefficient smaller than that of the first engine speed correction coefficient setting means when the second and later starts of the engine are decided by the decision means.
