  • Patent number: 6494184
    Abstract: An air-fuel mixture control device 12 controlling a combustible air-fuel mixture to be supplied to a combustion chamber 19 of an engine 11. This device 12 is constructed of an injector 35 used for fuel supply, a fuel pump, a fuel filter, a fuel pressure regulator, and an electronic control unit (ECU) 64, which are united as an assembly with respect to a throttle body 26 including an intake passage 24 and a throttle valve 25. A memory incorporated in the ECU 64 stores a correction value with respect to the fuel injection quantity dispersion preliminarily experimentally determined on an assembly-by-assembly basis. The ECU 64 corrects the fuel injection quantity based on the correction value stored in the memory to control the fuel injection quantity.

  • Patent number: 6070458
    Abstract: According to the device of the invention, measured values (V.sub.0 ', V') of an output V.sub.A of an opening sensor at two adjusted levels of throttle openings in both idling state and fast idling state and their ideal values (V.sub.0, V) are used. The value V.sub.0 ' in the idling state is subtracted from the output V.sub.A in a driving condition, (V.sub.A -V.sub.0 '), which is then multiplied by the ratio of ideal variation characteristics of the sensor output for a change of the throttle opening to those in the throttle valve product used, {(V-V.sub.0)/(V'-V.sub.0 ')}, to produce a correction signal T.sub.A matching the individual difference. Further, a reference value subtracted from the output V.sub.A in a driving condition is set as T.sub.AMIN which varies with the output V.sub.A, taking the difference of variation characteristics of the sensor output from ideal characteristics into account.
