A mold-type electronic control unit comprising: a unit body which includes a printed circuit board, a component case which includes an opening opened toward the circuit board and a hole opened toward the opposite side of the opening and is mounted on the circuit board, a first packing which includes a recess portion and a window portion opened inside of the recess portion and is attached so as to close the opening of the component case with the recess portion directed toward the printed circuit board, a pressure sensor housed in the recess portion of the first packing and having a pressure introducing portion exposed in the component case through the window portion, and a second packing mounted on an outer side of the component case; and a resin molded portion covering the unit body, wherein said second packing is used as means for preventing resin from flowing toward the hole of the case when the molded portion is injection molded.

Mold-type electronic control unit

An electronic control unit for controlling a fuel injection amount of a two-cycle internal combustion engine with an exhaust control valve wherein the electronic control unit comprises an injection amount determination means for determining the fuel injection amount at various control conditions, a valve abnormality detection means for detecting an abnormality of operation of the exhaust control valve, and an injector driving means for driving an injector so as to inject fuel of the amount determined by the injection amount determination means from the injector. The injection amount determination means determines the injection amount so that when the valve abnormality detection means detects the abnormality of operation of the exhaust control valve, an air-fuel mixture is made in a rich state.

An electronic control unit for a two-cycle internal combustion engine including an exhaust control valve which adjusts exhaust timing, a valve controller which controls the exhaust control valve, and a reversal controller which controls reversing a rotational direction of the engine in accordance with an instruction for reversal. In order to raise the probability of a success in reversing the rotational direction of the engine by generating a stable combustion pressure during the reversal of the rotational direction, there is provided valve opening and closing operation inhibition means which inhibits an opening and closing operation of the exhaust control valve by fixing the exhaust control valve in a fully-closed position while the reversal controller is performing control to reverse the rotational direction of the engine.

A batteryless fuel injection apparatus for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine adapted to generate a start injection command signal for each of cylinders in predetermined order whenever a reference pulse signal is generated by a signal generation device in case that which cylinder the reference pulse signal corresponds to cannot be judged to inject a fuel from the injector for each of the cylinders and to generate the injection command signal for each of the cylinders at a regular injection start position after which cylinder the reference pulse signal corresponds to is judged.

A control system for a two cycle internal combustion engine comprising signal generator means to generate a low speed ignition position detection signal at a position suitable for igniting the engine at a low speed of the engine so that an ignition system of the internal combustion engine is operated during a transient period after the engine is ignited at an overadvanced position until the rotational direction of the engine is confirmed whereby the engine is prevented from being stalled during the transient period.

Control system for two cycle internal combustion engine

A control system for an internal combustion engine is provided for a running equipment, which prevents from running in the direction opposed to the driver's intention when reversing the engine is failed although a driver executes a reverse process of reversing the rotative direction of the engine. The rotative direction of the internal combustion engine is detected so as to generate a rotative direction detection signal, and a reverse failure signal is generated when the rotative direction of the engine detected by these detection signals does not correspond to the rotative direction of the engine commanded by a reverse command. When the reverse failure signal is generated, fuel supply to the engine is stopped, and the engine is extinguished so as to stop the rotation.

Control system for internal combustion engine

A process for controlling a change-over of a rotative direction of a two cycle internal combustion engine used for driving a travelling machine such as a scooter, a snowmobile, a buggy car or the like wherein the rotative direction of the engine is reversed by advancing an ignition position to an over spark advance position just when it is confirmed that reversion allowance conditions are satisfied which are required for reversing the rotative direction of the engine while the travelling machine is driven with safety maintained.

Process for controlling a change-over of a rotative direction of a two cycle internal combustion engine used for driving a travelling machine

A rotational direction change-over control method capable of reversing a rotational direction of an internal combustion engine without discharging unburnt gas. When a reverse command is generated, feed of fuel to the engine is interrupted to reduce a rotational speed of the engine to a set level. An ignition position of the engine is advanced to an excessively advanced position during a reduction in rotational speed to the set level. When the rotational speed is reduced to the set level, feed of fuel is restarted to reverse a rotational speed of the engine. When judgment that the rotational speed is successfully reversed is made, the ignition position is transferred to a position near a top dead center, to thereby maintain rotation of the engine in a direction reversed.
