Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Various systems and methods are described for controlling pre-ignition in a boosted engine in a newly manufactured vehicle. One method comprises, during a pre-delivery phase of the vehicle, operating the boosted engine in a pre-delivery calibration with a first, higher enrichment, in response to a pre-ignition event. The pre-delivery calibration is deactivated during a post-delivery phase and the boosted engine is operated with a second, lower enrichment in response to a pre-ignition event.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1.
