Abstract
A method and apparatus for achieving optimized efficiency combustion in a diesel internal combustion engine utilizes a cylinder pressure detector which measures peak cylinder pressure relative to crankshaft timing and compares it with a speed-load-timing map comprising several engine parameters including engine speed and engine load in order to compensate for various unknown combustion characteristics of the fuels to be used in compression ignition engines, and automatically adjusts fuel injection timing for optimum efficiency.
