Abstract
Abstract A system for controlling fuel injection of an engine having a bypass around a throttle valve, and idle speed control valve provided in the bypass, and a fuel injector. A basic injection pulse width is decided in accordance with engine speed and throttle position of the throttle valve. The system has a detector detecting idling operation of the engine, for producing an idle signal, and a controller for producing a control value signal for controlling the idle speed control valve in accordance with engine speed upon the idle signal. The basic injection pulse width is corrected with a correction value relative to the control value signal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
A system for controlling fuel injection of an engine for a motor vehicle having an intake passage, a throttle valve provided in the intake passage, a bypass around the throttle valve, an idle speed control valve provided in the bypass, and at least one fuel injector, comprising: an engine speed sensor producing an engine speed signal dependent on speed of the engine; a throttle position sensor producing a throttle opening degree signal dependent on an opening degree of the throttle valve; determining means for producing a basic injection pulse width signal in accordance with the engine speed signal and throttle opening degree signal; detector means for detecting idling operation of the engine and for producing an idle signal; control means responsive to the idle signal and the engine speed signal for producing a control value signal for controlling the idle speed control valve; and correcting means responsive to the control value signal for producing a correction value, and for correcting the basic injection pulse width signal with the correction value and for producing a fuel injection pulse width signal for operating the fuel injector.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
184 words
A system for controlling fuel injection of an engine for a motor vehicle having an intake passage, a throttle valve provided in the intake passage, a bypass around the throttle valve, an idle speed control valve provided in the bypass, and at least one fuel injector, comprising: an engine speed sensor producing an engine speed signal dependent on speed of the engine; a throttle position sensor producing a throttle opening degree signal dependent on an opening degree of the throttle valve; determining means for producing a basic injection pulse width signal in accordance with the engine speed signal and throttle opening degree signal; detector means for detecting idling operation of the engine and for producing an idle signal; control means responsive to the idle signal and the engine speed signal for producing a control value signal for controlling the idle speed control valve; and correcting means responsive to the control value signal for producing a correction value, and for correcting the basic injection pulse width signal with the correction value and for producing a fuel injection pulse width signal for operating the fuel injector.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The system according to claim 1 wherein the correcting means includes throttle valve opening area calculator means and bypass opening area calculator means and an adder for adding outputs of both the calculator means for producing the correction value.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
The system according to claim 1 wherein the correcting means includes setting means responsive to the throttle opening degree signal for correcting the throttle opening degree signal whereby the basic injection pulse width signal is corrected.
