  • Patent number: 4399789
    Abstract: There is provided a warm up control system for an internal combustion engine which controls the engine speed, spark ignition timing and the spark advance in order to keep the engine operating condition in desirable for maximizing the warm up efficiency and minimizing of exhaust emission and fuel consumption. The control system include an electronic controlled storing tables respectively representative of a target engine speed, a required maximum engine warm up rate and a required engine stability in relation to an engine temperature and a crank revolution angle as a representative of the engine speed. In the system, the engine speed, spark ignition timing and the spark advance are controlled so that the engine operating condition adapts the determined target engine speed, the maximum engine warm up rate and the maximum engine stability.

  • Patent number: 4383515
    Abstract: A fuel injection control system that controls the quantity of injected fuel for an internal combustion engine of the type such as a V-8 engine is disclosed. Such fuel injection control system first calculates a basic amount of fuel to be injected per engine revolution T.sub.p (T.sub.p =Q/N .times.Constant Q: intake air flow rate N: engine revolution speed, e.g., rpm), then calculates correction coefficients (COEF, .alpha..sub.L and .alpha..sub.R) on a basis of other various engine operating parameters (e.g., cooling water temperature) and the air-fuel mixture ratio of each bank of cylinders as sensed by exhaust gas detectors and combines either of their numerical results with the numerical result T.sub.p to obtain a pulse width representing an amount of fuel per revolution T.sub.i, and lastly opens either or both groups of fuel injectors whereby when the intake air flow rate Q is more than a predetermined value Q.sub.

  • Patent number: 4274385
    Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation system for an internal combustion engine for automotive use, wherein a diaphragm-operated recirculation rate control valve adapted to control the exhaust gas recirculation rate depending upon the relationship between the pressure of the exhaust gases passed through an orifice and a vacuum developed in the mixture supply system of the engine is used in combination with a solenoid and diaphragm operated vacuum compensating valve which is not only responsive to the pressure of the exhaust gases passed through the orifice but is controlled by a microcomputer responsive to various operational parameters of the engine so that the vacuum to be developed in the recirculation rate control valve is compensated to be optimum for operating conditions of the engine.

  • Patent number: 4257381
    Abstract: Exhaust gas recirculation system controlled by a microcomputer for an internal combustion engine comprises a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of the exhaust gas downstream of an orifice disposed in the exhaust gas recirculation passage, a microcomputer for electrically controlling an electromagnetic valve which fluidly controls an exhaust gas recirculation control valve arranged in the exhaust gas recirculation passage, in view of the comparison of an optimal pressure of the exhaust gases, derived from the engine parameters, and the actual pressure measured by the sensor. The gear position of the transmission, engine temperature, engine speed, and the intake airflow rate are used in the microcomputer to produce an output signal with which the electromagnetic valve is controlled.

  • Patent number: 4240145
    Abstract: An auxiliary air delivery system for an internal combustion engine includes an intake vacuum sensor for generating an intake vacuum signal, a deceleration sensor and a microcomputer in which is stored a set of data representing different values of reference intake vacuum and programmed to retrieve a datum as a function of the length of time from the occurrence of engine deceleration. The retrieved information is used a reference signal with which the intake vacuum signal is compared to provide a control signal. A servo mechanism is provided to allow auxiliary air to be admitted into the manifold at a point downstream of the nearly closed throttle in response to the control signal to reduce the difference between the actual intake vacuum and the reference intake vacuum.
