Method for diagnosing a clogging of an injector in an internal combustion engine |
摘要 |
A method is provided for diagnosing a clogging of an injector in an internal combustion engine equipped with a fuel rail and with a plurality of fuel injectors hydraulically connected to the fuel rail. The method includes, but is not limited to determining a value of a pressure drop in the fuel rail due to a quantity of fuel injected by a tested injector, and diagnosing the clogging of the tested injector if the determined pressure drop value is lower than a threshold value of this pressure drop. |

1. A method for diagnosing a clogging of an injector in an internal combustion engine equipped with a fuel rail and with a plurality of fuel injectors hydraulically connected to the fuel rail, the method comprising:
injecting a quantity of fuel by a tested injector; determining a value of a pressure drop in the fuel rail due to fuel injection; diagnosing the clogging of the tested injector if the value of the pressure drop is lower than a threshold value of the pressure drop; and determining the value of the pressure drop in the fuel rail for each injector, each value of the pressure drop due to the quantity of fuel injected by a related injector; and determining the threshold value based at least in part on an average of values of the pressure drop. |
