  • Patent number: 6899082
    Abstract: The ignition timing control system for an internal combustion engine includes an ignition device and a control unit. The control unit is programmed to execute steps including: determining if a predetermined condition for ignition timing retardation control; calculating a basic ignition timing value based on a knocking learning value, an engine speed, an intake air pressure, and an intake air temperature, if it is determined that the predetermined condition exists; calculating an ignition timing retardation value based on engine speed and intake air pressure; calculating an ignition timing retardation coefficient based on engine coolant temperature; calculating a final ignition timing value based on the basic ignition timing value, the ignition timing retardation value, and the ignition retardation coefficient; and controlling ignition timing according to the final ignition timing value.
