Fuel quantity estimate system

An engineis stopped according to conditions when a vehicle has stopped, and the engineis started by starting a motor/generatorwhen a request to restart the enginewhich has stopped, is determined. Engine torque is absorbed by the motor/generatorso that that the starting torque according to an accelerator pedal depression after restart, is effectively the same torque for starting from the engine stop state as for starting from the engine idle state. In this way, the same starting performance is obtained when the vehicle starts from the engine stop state as when the vehicle starts from the engine idle rotation state.

Engine idle stop control system for vehicles

When engine shutdown conditions are satisfied while an engine is running, a controller automatically shuts down the engine (idling stop state). When the engine is automatically shut down and engine restart conditions are satisfied, the engine is driven by a motor and the engine is restarted. At this time it is determined that the vehicle is in a deterioration state when the increase rate of the rotation speed of the engine after starting driving the engine with the motor is low. Thereafter idling stop is prohibited. Furthermore when it is determined that the vehicle is on an up-slope, determination of deterioration state is not performed. The engine is driven by the motor and the engine is immediately restarted.

Vehicle idling stop system

An engine with a charger, in which an intake passage is provided with a throttle valve which is electronically controlled to a target opening degree and the charger on the upstream side of the throttle valve, wherein a target supercharged pressure is corrected in a direction of eliminating a delay in the intake air amount based upon a difference between the target supercharged pressure of the charger and the supercharged pressure detected on the upstream side of the throttle valve, to thereby set a target supercharged pressure of the throttle valve based on the corrected target supercharged pressure. This suppresses a delay in the intake air amount caused by a delay in the change of the supercharged pressure during the transient period, makes it possible to accomplish acceleration/deceleration performance of good response, and suppresses a torque difference that occurs when the combustion system is changed over to the stratified charge combustion or to the homogeneous combustion.

Intake air control device of an engine with a charger and method thereof

An electronic engine control system of an internal combustion engine with a supercharging device operable to produce a desired boost pressure, includes an electronically-controlled throttle valve and a pressure sensor located in an induction system to detect an actual boost pressure. The system computes a target air quantity used in a stratified combustion mode or in a homogeneous lean combustion mode, based on at least an operated amount of an accelerator, and computes the desired boost pressure based on engine speed and engine load, and computes a boost-pressure correction factor as the ratio of the desired boost pressure to the actual boost pressure, during the stratified combustion mode or during the homogeneous lean combustion mode. An arithmetic-calculation section is also provided to compensate for the target air quantity by the boost-pressure correction factor during the stratified combustion mode or during the homogeneous lean combustion mode. The compensated target air quantity is determined as a virtual target air quantity. A throttle actuator device drives the electronically-controlled throttle, so that the virtual target air quantity is drawn into the engine, thus compensating for the response delay in boost-pressure change during acceleration/deceleration in the lean or ultra-lean combustion mode.
