Control system for an engine
First Claim
1. An engine control system for an engine equipped with a fuel injector for determining a target air-to-fuel ratio based on target loads established according to engine operating conditions and controlling said fuel injector to deliver fuel according to said target air-to-fuel ratio, said engine control system comprising:
- an intake air flow sensor operative to detect actual air charging efficiency;
an engine speed sensor operative to detect an engine speed of said engine;
a accelerator sensor operative to detect an accelerator pedal travel; and
control means for determining a target load based on said engine speed and said accelerator travel, determining a target air-to-fuel ratio based on said actual air charging efficiency and said target load, and determining an amount of fuel injection based on said target air-to-fuel ratio and said actual air charging efficiency.

Abstract
An engine control system for a direct injection-spark ignition type of engine determines a target load based on an engine speed and an accelerator pedal travel, determines target air-to-fuel ratio based on an amount of intake air and the target engine load, and determines an amount of fuel injection based on the target air-to-fuel ratio, so as thereby to control engine output torque balancing the target engine load even during a transitional operating state.
