System for measuring intake airflow rate in an engine

摘要

A system for measuring intake airflow rate in an engine has an airflow meter provided in an intake passage upstream of a throttle valve. The intake airflow rate of the flow entering into a space between the throttle valve and the cylinders of the engine, without entering into the cylinders, is calculated. The difference between the intake airflow rate measured by the airflow meter and the airflow rate of flow in the space is calculated to provide the actual intake airflow rate of flow actually entering into the cylinders.
