In a fuel discharge preventive device of a gas engine, in order to prevent high-pressure gaseous fuel remaining in a fuel distributing pipe when an engine is stopped, from leaking out of a gaseous fuel injection valve to be discharged to the open air, a fuel shut-off valve is provided in a fuel feed passage through which gaseous fuel is fed to the gaseous fuel injection valve, and a suction passage communicating with a gaseous fuel storing portion is branched off from the fuel feed passage between the gaseous fuel injection valve and the fuel shut-off valve, so that the gaseous fuel in a potion of the fuel feed passage located between the gaseous fuel injection valve and the fuel shut-off valve is stored in the gaseous fuel storing portion after the engine is stopped and hence the fuel shut-off valve is closed, while the stored fuel is purged to the engine when the engine is being operated.

An electronic air-fuel mixture control system is adapted to an internal combustion engine to determine an optimum air-fuel ratio in dependence upon renewal of a plurality of learning values related to a plurality of load regions of the engine. The control system is arranged to conduct simultaneous learning of the learning values at a frequency in accordance with lapse of time and to conduct selective learning of the learning values in accordance with change of the load acting on the engine.

Electronic air-fuel mixture control system for internal combustion engine

An electronic air-fuel mixture control system is adapted to an internal combustion engine to determine an optimum air-fuel ratio in dependence upon renewal of plural learning values related to a plurality of load regions of the engine. The control system is arranged to select one of the learning values in accordance with the engine load and to prohibit learning of the selected learning value when a difference between the selected learning value and the adjacent learning value is more than an allowable value determined in consideration with allowable fluctuation of the air-fuel ratio caused by change of the amount of air flowing into the engine.

In a carburetor having a flow control element axially movable within an air bleed passage in the carburetor body for controlling the cross-sectional area of the passage and a stepper motor on the body for effecting axial movement of the control element, an input circuit produces an electric signal indicative of the operating condition of an engine. A computer determines rotary steps of the motor in response to the electric signal for optimizing the cross-sectional area of the passage in relation to the operating condition of the engine, an a whether the number of the determined rotary steps is more than the actual rotary steps of the motor. A first command signal and a second command signal, and first and second control signals are produced respectively for effecting one rotary step of the motor in a direction defined by each of the command signals. The computer is responsive to one of the control signals to measure a first time duration for one rotary step of the motor to produce a first time signal upon lapse of the first time duration, responsive to change of one of the command signals to the other to measure a second time duration for one reverse rotary step of the motor to produce a second time signal upon lapse of the second time duration, and further responsive to one of the time signals to selectively apply the control signals to the motor.

Electric control apparatus for carburetor

An air-fuel ratio control device capable of accurately controlling the air-fuel ratio of the mixture to be supplied to the engine, without being affected by the external conditions such as the atmospheric pressure and the temperature of the air drawn into the engine. The control signal of the air-fuel ratio control device contains a sensitivity component whose magnitude varies in proportion to a time of duration for which the 'rich' or 'lean' input signal has continued, so that the air-fuel ratio of the mixture can be properly controlled for all engine running conditions, i.e., either when the engine is running under a light load condition or under a heavy load condition.

Air fuel ratio control device

Disclosed herein is a comparator circuit used in a system for controlling, in accordance with an air-fuel ratio signal from an O.sub.2 sensor arranged in an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas. The comparator has two inputs, one of which receives a signal having a phase which is the same as a signal from the O.sub.2 sensor, the other of which receives a delayed phase signal. The output of the comparator operates to provide, in accordance with the voltage level difference between the inputs, two deviation signals, one of which indicates that air-fuel ratio has deviated to the rich side of the air-fuel ratio the other of which indicates that the air-fuel ratio has deviated to the lean side of the air-fuel ratio.

Comparator circuit adapted for use in a system for controlling the

Disclosed is an exhaust gas cleaning apparatus of an internal combustion engine, provided with a three-way catalytic converter and a vacuum-operated flow control valve having a diaphragm for controlling the amount of secondary air directed into an exhaust manifold of the engine for an effective operation of the three-way catalytic converter. The diaphragm operates to increase or decrease the amount of secondary air in accordance with the change of vacuum force on the diaphragm, which force is generated by a vacuum signal transmitted into the valve from an intake manifold of the engine. Means are provided for compensating the difference in the vacuum levels between a high-load condition and a low-load condition so that the rate of increase in the vacuum force of the diaphragm is substantially kept near a constant value for every kind of engine condition. Thus, an ideal operation of the three-way catalytic converter can be obtained.
