Abstract
An engine combustion diagnostic system and method for diagnosing an engine improve combustion quality determinations. The method includes the step of linking manifold absolute pressure (MAP) to in-cylinder pressure during calibration of the engine such that a table results. A single in-cylinder pressure measurement is collected during real-time operation of the engine. The method further provides for determining combustion quality for the engine based on the real-time in-cylinder pressure measurement and the table.
