Abstract

An improvement to a misfire monitor sensing lean-roll in an internal combustion engine by comparing the rate of change in O.sub.2 in the exhaust gases with respect to time against a limit is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, the sensed O.sub.2 level in the exhaust is used as an input to rescaling means which automatically normalizes the values used in the comparison to a standard range. Normalization is accomplished alternately by rescaling the rate of change value, rescaling the limit value used, or diluting the exhaust gases sampled to the level of a 'standard' air blown engine to which the comparison limit is scaled.
