Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In an internal combustion engine control device, a predetermined margin torque is set such that it is possible to maintain a predetermined engine idling speed by adjusting ignition timing with respect to load fluctuations during idling operation. The margin torque is set to decrease, as a load, acting on the internal combustion engine during idling operation, increases. Accordingly, the margin torque can be set to an appropriate value, and thus it is possible to improve a fuel economy performance during idling operation of the internal combustion engine.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An internal combustion engine control device, in which a margin torque that can be increased by ignition-timing adjustment such that ignition timing is shifted to an ignition-timing change side on which an engine output is decreased, while supplying an intake air quantity exceeding a given quantity corresponding to an actual engine output torque with respect to load fluctuations during idling operation is set, comprising: an engine control unit compris…
