A shift indication apparatus having an engine rotation sensor, a throttle valve sensor, and a shift position sensor, a microcomputer having a ROM and RAM for storing data corresponding to the engine speed, throttle valve openings, and the shift positions therein, and an indicator for indicating preferable shift positions to be performed by a driver in which a torque data map and a fuel consumption rate data map have stored in the ROM for calculating various torque and fuel consumption rates so as to obtain preferable shift positions relating to optimum fuel consumption rate in accordance with said data detected. With this construction, it becomes possible for a driver to run his car in accordance with the indications of the shift operation on the indicator so as to enable the economical running of the car to be realized.

Optimum shift position indication using successive two-dimensional data

This invention relates to a fuel injection timing control unit for an electronic controlled fuel injection apparatus mounted on an internal combustion engine. The fuel injection timing of a fuel injection valve is first calculated and subsequently adjusted or modified due to an amount of throttle opening or an engine speed, thereby improving the engine response when a rapid acceleration of a vehicle is necessary.

Disclosed is an internal combustion engine with an exhaust gas recirculation system. The engine is provided with a carburetor which includes a primary system and a secondary system. The recirculated exhaust gas is supplied to the intake passage via an exhaust gas supply pipe which is disposed at a position downstream of the carburetor. The top end of the exhaust gas supply pipe is open at a space having a predetermined positional relationship with the wall of the primary system.

Internal combustion engine with an exhaust gas recirculation system

Disclosed is an internal combustion engine with an exhaust gas recirculation system. The engine is provided with an exhaust gas recirculation control valve device, a modulator valve device and a vacuum control valve device. The exhaust gas recirculation control valve device communicates an exhaust passage of the engine with an intake passage of the engine and is provided with a diaphragm chamber, partitioned by a diaphragm and communicating with a first port of a carburetor and a constant pressure chamber, partitioned by a valve body which is actuated by the diaphragm. The modulator valve device is provided with an upper diaphragm chamber, which is communicated with a second port disposed at a position nearer to a venturi portion of the carburetor than the first port and communicated with the vacuum control valve device. An orifice is disposed between a first communicating pipe, which communicates the first port with the diaphragm chamber of the exhaust gas recirculation control valve device, and another communicating pipe, which is communicated with a port disposed upstream of the first port.

Disclosed is a catalyzer heating device of an internal combustion engine. The glow plug is disposed in the catalyzer of the catalytic converter. The glow plug is operated when the temperature of the engine and the temperature of the catalyzer are relatively low so as to increase the temperature of the catalyzer for improving the exhaust gas purifying efficiency in the catalyzer.
