AUTONOMOUS OPERATION OF ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES ON A VARIETY OF FUELS AND/OR OTHER VARIABILITIES USING ION CURRENT AND/OR OTHER COMBUSTION SENSORS

摘要

A system and method to enable electronically controlled internal combustion engines to self-adjust parameters and operate properly on different fuels that have wide ranges of physical and chemical properties. Input from a sensor is utilized that gives a signal indicative of the combustion process. The ECU processes the signal and readjusts the engine operating parameters to achieve its operating goals.
