A fuel injection control system for an internal combustion engine includes an ECU which carries out adherent fuel-dependent correction by calculating an amount of fuel to be injected into the intake passage such that a sum of a direct supply amount of fuel directly drawn into the combustion chamber of the engine without adhering to the wall surface of the intake passage out of a whole amount of fuel injected into the intake passage, and a carried-off amount of fuel carried off the wall surface of the intake passage into the combustion chamber out of fuel adhering to the wall surface of the intake passage is equal to a required fuel amount for the engine. The starting condition of the engine is detected by sensors, and operation of the adherent fuel-dependent correction control is limited during the starting condition of the engine. The carried-off fuel amount is set to a predetermined value, based on at least one operating parameter of the engine when the engine has shifted from the starting condition to the basic operating condition after starting.

Fuel injection control system for internal combustion engines

An air-fuel ratio control method which controls the amount of the intake side secondary air in accordance with either the engine temperature or both of the engine temperature and the intake air temperature upon the engine re-start under a high engine temperature, thereby avoiding enrichment of the intake air-fuel ratio even at the occurrence of the percolation phenomenon and to improve the engine-start property. Furthermore, the amount of the intake side secondary air is controlled until the start of the air-fuel ratio feedback control to accomplish improvement in the purification of the exhaust gases and in the stability of the engine speed at an idle state.

Air-fuel ratio control method for an internal combustion engine

A solenoid operated cut valve controls flow through a vent passage leading from a float chamber for a carburetor for an internal combustion engine. A normally closed switch opens in response to high temperature of the engine, and a normally closed timer switch opens at the start of cranking and closes again after a predetermined time of cranking. The switches are connected to the solenoid to prevent increase in pressure within the float chamber from delivering an excessive amount of fuel to the air intake passage of the engine. In a modification, a switch responsive to vacuum intensity in the intake passage is included in the solenoid circuit to facilitate acceleration of the engine after a hot start.
