Atomospheric pressure detecting method for controllling internal combustion engine and apparatus therefor

摘要

An atmospheric pressure detecting method for controlling an internal combustion engine, which can detect atmospheric pressure and takes the atmospheric pressure as one of control conditions of the internal combustion engine without using a throttle sensor and an atmospheric pressure sensor, is provided; wherein a maximum value and a minimum value of intake pipe pressure generating while the internal combustion engine performs one combustion cycle are detected; wherein an absolute value of a difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the intake pipe pressure is detected as an intake pipe pressure change quantity; and wherein the maximum value of the intake pipe pressure is taken as a detection value of atmospheric pressure when the intake pipe pressure change quantity is equal to or less than a set value.
