20120109497 | ABNORMAL INTER-CYLINDER AIR-FUEL RATIO IMBALANCE DETECTION APPARATUS FOR MULTI-CYLINDER INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - The invention provides an abnormal inter-cylinder air-fuel ratio imbalance detection apparatus for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine. The abnormal inter-cylinder air-fuel ratio imbalance detection apparatus is provided with: an air-fuel ratio sensor provided at an exhaust passage of the multi-cylinder internal combustion engine; an abnormal imbalance detection portion that detects an abnormal imbalance between air-fuel ratios corresponding to respective cylinders of the multi-cylinder internal combustion engine through a comparison between a value of a parameter correlative to a variation of an output of the air-fuel ratio sensor and a predetermined abnormality threshold; and a correction portion that corrects at least one of the value of the parameter and the abnormality threshold based on an atmospheric pressure. | 05-03-2012 |
20120116644 | INTER-CYLINDER AIR-FUEL RATIO IMBALANCE ABNORMALITY DETECTION APPARATUS FOR MULTI-CYLINDER INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - An inter-cylinder air-fuel ratio imbalance abnormality detection apparatus includes an air-fuel ratio sensor disposed in an exhaust passage of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine, and an abnormality detection unit that detects an inter-cylinder air-fuel ratio imbalance abnormality on the basis of a degree of variation in an output of the air-fuel ratio sensor. The abnormality detection unit detects the inter-cylinder air-fuel ratio imbalance abnormality by comparing a value of a parameter that correlates with the degree of variation in the output of the air-fuel ratio sensor with a predetermined abnormality determination value. The abnormality determination value is set individually for each of a plurality of preset operating regions of the internal combustion engine. | 05-10-2012 |
20120247424 | INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CONTROLLER FOR SETTING IDLE SPEED AND VEHICLE MOUNTING THE SAME - An ECU for controlling an engine counts an unused time TIM of engine in a low-temperature environment. If the unused time TIM is shorter than a predetermined reference value, the ECU sets idle speed immediately after start of operation of the engine to a first idle speed, and if the unused time TIM is longer than the reference value, sets the idle speed to a second idle speed higher than the first idle speed. If duration of the second idle speed exceeds a reference period determined by state of driving of the vehicle, the ECU sets the idle speed to be lower than the second idle speed. In this manner, increased vibration in idling operation in a low-temperature environment can be prevented. | 10-04-2012 |
20120253633 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, VEHICLE, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - Control over an internal combustion engine that automatically stops includes: setting a first idle rotation speed, which is used after a lapse of a short stop period of the internal combustion engine, and a second idle rotation speed, which is used after a lapse of a long stop period of the internal combustion engine, at different values; and, when an idle rotation speed of the internal combustion engine is the second idle rotation speed, restricting automatic stop of the internal combustion engine. | 10-04-2012 |
20130186374 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - Disclosed is a control device applied to an internal combustion engine provided with a fuel vapor treatment system for treating collected fuel vapor by purging the collected fuel vapor into intake air downstream from an air flowmeter ( | 07-25-2013 |
20140014065 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENIGNE AND VEHICLE INCORPORATING CONTROL DEVICE - An ECU for controlling an engine counts the continued period of stopping the engine in a low-temperature environment. The ECU sets the idle rotational speed at a first idle rotational speed when the stopped period is below a predetermined threshold value, and at a second idle rotational speed higher than the first idle rotational speed when the stopped period exceeds the reference value. Accordingly, resonance at the driving force transmission system during idle operation can be prevented even in the case where a mount employed for attaching the engine to the vehicle is hardened as a result of undergoing a low-temperature environment for a long period of time, and the resonant rotational speed of the driving force transmission system including the engine varies. | 01-16-2014 |
20150285437 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE AND VEHICLE INCLUDING THE SAME - An object of the present invention is to provide a control device for a vehicle which enables prompt warm-up, and a vehicle including the same. When a control state of the vehicle is a started state (Ready-ON state), a float valve disconnects a first oil pan from a second oil pan in any of cases where an engine is in an operational state and in a stopped state, and, when the control state of the vehicle is a stopped state (Ready-OFF state), the float valve provides communication between the first oil pan and the second oil pan. | 10-08-2015 |
