Method of controlling an air-fuel ratio of an engine

摘要

The elapsed time Ta(i) of 30 DEG crank angle near top dead center of compression and the elapsed time Tb(i) of 30 DEG crank angle near 90 DEG after top dead center of compression are found. The difference DTa(i) of the elapsed times Ta(i) between 720 DEG crank angle for a first cylinder and a second cylinder performing combustion after the first cylinder is found. The assumed elapsed time when assuming that there is no torque fluctuation is calculated from the difference DTa(i) of the elapsed time of the first cylinder and the elapsed time of the second cylinder is calculated and the assumed elapsed time is used to calculate the amount of torque fluctuation. It is judged if the vehicle is driving over a rough road from the amplitude and cycle of fluctuation of the vehicle speed. When it is judged that the vehicle is driving over a rough road, correction of the air-fuel ratio based on the amount of torque fluctuation is prohibited.
