Controller of compression-ignition engine
First Claim
1. A control system for a compression ignition engine comprising:
- a catalytic converter installed within an exhaust passage of the compression ignition engine for compressing and igniting a pre-mixture of a fuel and air;
an air/fuel ratio detector for detecting an air/fuel ratio at upstream side of said catalytic converter; and
an NOx detector for detecting NOx at downstream side of said catalytic converter.

Abstract
A control system for a compression injection engine can prevent deterioration in exhaust purification at the time of the switching of combustion between spark ignition and compression ignition, at the time of said spark ignition combustion and said compression injection combustion, and can diagnose any deterioration of an NO x detector and a three way catalyst. The control system includes a catalytic converter installed within an exhaust passage of the compression ignition engine for compressing and igniting a pre-mixture of a fuel and air, an air/fuel ratio detector for detecting an air/fuel ratio at upstream side of said catalytic converter, and an NOx detector for detecting NOx at downstream side of said catalytic converter.
