    • Misfiring in a cylinder of an engine can be detected with high reliability using a statistical treatment even if the level of ion current generated by a spark plug upon ignition thereof is affected by noise. An ion current, which is generated when a spark plug for a cylinder discharges, is detected to provide a corresponding voltage which is then integrated or peak held to produce a current component signal which is generated for a predetermined time from the time of discharge of the spark plug. The current component signal is used as misfiring information and compared with a prescribed threshold so as to determine whether there is misfiring in the cylinder. Misfirings thus detected are counted so as to evaluate the state or extent of misfiring in the cylinder. If the state of misfiring is serious, the fuel supply to the cylinder is stopped. If, however, it is light, an appropriate measure for optimizing the operation of the misfiring cylinder is taken to remedy such a situation and recover normal combustion therein.

    • An engine control apparatus and method for accurately controlling the operation of an engine such as ignition, fuel injection, etc., particularly in the high-speed range or during a sudden change in the rotational speed of the engine. A signal generator generates a positional signal in the form of pulses representative of a reference piston position of each cylinder in synchrony with the rotation of the engine. A sensor means senses the operating conditions of the engine. A control unit in the form of a microcomputer, which includes a timer means for controlling the operations of the corresponding cylinders, calculates, based on the positional signal and the output signal of the sensor means, control times for controlling the corresponding cylinders at every reference piston position, and determine, at every reference piston position, whether the timer means has already done control on the cylinders. If the timer means has yet to do control on the cylinders, the control unit resets or updates the dimer means to new control times which are calculated at the present reference piston position for controlling the present operations of the cylinders. On the other hand, if the timer means has already done control on the cylinders, the control unit sets the timer means to new control times which are calculated at the present reference piston position for controlling the next operations of the cylinders.

    • Misfiring in an engine cylinder can be detected based on the pressure therein as sensed by a pressure sensor with a high degree of reliability at any time even if the output signal of the pressure sensor contains an offset component superposed on a pressure component representative of the actual cylinder pressure. In one form, the pressure sensor output is differentiated to eliminate the influence of the offset component and then processed to generate a power stroke pressure information signal in the form of the time of a pressure-change peak in the differentiated pressure sensor output or an integrated value of the differentiated output, which is then compared with a threshold so as to determine whether misfiring took place in the cylinder. In another form, the offset component is calculated based on the pressure in the cylinder at two different crank angles during a compression stroke, and it is then removed from the pressure sensor output and compared with a threshold or it may be integrated for a prescribed crank angle range around TDC before comparison with the threshold. In a further form, an expected pressure in the cylinder at a third crank angle during a power stroke is calculated based on the cylinder pressures at first and second crank angles during a compression stroke preceding the power stroke, and then compared with the cylinder pressure as sensed by the pressure sensor at the third crank angle for misfiring determination.

    • A control apparatus for an engine has a crankshaft position sensor that generates an output signal indicating the rotational position of a crankshaft. The output signal has at least one discontinuous portion per rotation of the crankshaft indicating a reference position of the crankshaft. The timing of an engine operating parameter such as the timing of fuel injection or ignition is calculated and controlled so as to occur with the calculated timing using the reference position as a reference. A camshaft position sensor senses the rotation of a camshaft and generates a signal having pulses occurring between consecutive occurrences of the reference position. The cylinders of the engine are identified by counting the number of pulses occurring between the reference positions.

    • An improved cylinder recognition apparatus for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine capable of recognizing the operating states of a relatively large number of cylinders by use of two kinds of output signals of a signal generator in a short time and in a reliable manner. A signal generator generates a first signal and a second signal synchronously with the rotation of the engine, the first signal containing a plurality of positional pulses each representative of prescribed reference rotational positions of a corresponding cylinder, the second signal containing a plurality of cylinder recognition pulses each at a location near a corresponding one of the positional pulses. Each cylinder recognition pulse has a specific angular relation with respect to a corresponding positional pulse which is different from that of any other cylinder recognition pulse. A microcomputer detects the level of the second signal at the prescribed reference rotational positions of each cylinder so as to generate an appropriate serial pattern representative of a series of successively detected signal levels. The microcomputer includes a register for sequentially storing the successively detected signal levels, and has a look-up table stored therein which contains a plurality of serial patterns each corresponding to a specific cylinder. The microcomputer recognizes the operating state of each cylinder based on an appropriate number of successively detected last signal levels stored in the register while looking at the look-up table.

    • An ignition timing control device for a multicylinder engine comprises a position sensor which generates a crank angle reference position signal indicative of a first and a second reference position of respective cylinders, wherein the second reference position of a particular cylinder is retarded by a predetermined offset with respect to other cylinders. Thus, the control device discriminates the particular cylinder from the ratio of the pulse-width to the pulse repetition period. The length of time between the first or second reference position and the target ignition timing is determined in accordance with the average of two or more preceding periods between the first or second reference position. Thus, the error of the ignition timing, which results from a hunting of the rpm of the engine and which is especially conspicuous with respect to the particular cylinder, is suppressed.
