Abstract: A method for controlling the operating characteristics of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. An injection signal for metering fuel and an idling charge signal for the supply of idling air are present. Engine overrun is also recognized in this method. To diminish the bucking ordinarily occurring during the transition to overrun, after the overrunning is recognized the supply of idling air is first reduced, and then the fuel metering to the engine is interrrupted. This affords the advantage that the transition to the overrun mode of operation occurs precisely at the time when the engine has the least possible torque. An analogous procedure is described for the resumption of normal operation following overrun.

When the engine is in a predetermined decelerating region immediately preceding the predetermined idling region, a basic value of the operating amount of the control valve is corrected in dependence upon a detected value of the engine temperature and a detected value of the decreasing rate of the engine speed. When the engine is further decelerated into the predetermined idling region, the feedback control is started by applying the corrected basic value of the operating amount of the control valve as an initial value thereof.

Abstract: Liquid fuel from a controlled supply is delivered to a delivery tube under a pressure which is too low to deliver a charge of fuel under static conditions. During an induction stroke however, air entering a cylinder of an engine is drawn through a venturi-type constriction and thereby draws air from a duct by-passing the engine throttle. This air is drawn through a convergent passage to pass the delivery end of the tube at supersonic velocity to draw therefrom a charge of fuel. The tubes for each inlet passage are in permanent communication with the same metered supply so each cylinder draws its appropriate charge in turn.

Abstract: When the engine RPM falls below a lower limit of a target RPM of idling while an engine is in an idle operation, a control valve is shifted to the open-loop control mode instead of the conventional feedback control mode so as to enable the engine RPM range to be quickly increased up to within the target RPM of idling rotations. Said control valve is disposed in a bypass which communicates with the upstream side and the downstream side of the throttle valve in intake passage to adjust the volume of an inspired air. The solenoid current command (amount of control) for adjusting the opening degree of the control valve during the period of the open-loop control mode is set at a level higher than that immediately before the feedback control mode shifts to the open-loop control mode.
