ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling an internal combustion engine employing an exhaust gas recirculation system wherein a fuel injection amount is controlled corresponding to a calculated cylinder air mass flow rate and the method comprises the steps of: deriving a flow rate of a recirculated exhaust gas flowing into an induction passage of the engine; predicting a partial pressure of the exhaust gas within the induction passage on the basis of the flow rate of the recirculated exhaust gas; and deriving the cylinder air mass flow rate on the basis of the predicted value of the partial pressure of the recirculated exhaust gas. The method can also be applied to a system employing a parameter representative of fuel transfer characteristics derived by using measured values of parameters including an internal pressure in an induction passage of the engine, and the fuel injection amount is controlled depending upon the parameter representative of the fuel transfer characteristics, with the method comprising the steps of: deriving flow rates of the intake air and the recirculated exhaust gas introduced into the induction passage; predicting a total pressure in the induction passage on the basis of the intake air mass flow rate and the recirculated exhaust gas flow rae flowing in the induction passage; and deriving a parameter representative of fuel transfer characteristics in the induction passage on the basis of predetermined parameters including the total pressure.
