ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine control system comprises a pressure sensor for detecting pressure within an engine cylinder of an internal combustion engine, a crank angle sensor for detecting an engine cylinder identification number and a crank angle in synchronism with rotation of the engine, an intake air flow sensor disposed within an air intake pipe of the engine for detecting an intake air flow, and an exhaust gas recirculation flow control apparatus for controlling electrically a flow of exhaust gas of the engine recirculated to the engine by determining difference in the pressure within the engine cylinder between predetermined crank angles during a compression stroke of the engine on the basis of output signal of the pressure sensor, determining a first engine charging efficiency on the basis of the outputs of the crank angle sensor and the pressure difference, converting the intake air flow derived from the output of the intake air flow sensor to a second engine charging efficiency on the basis of the output of the crank angle sensor and by determining an exhaust gas recirculation ratio on the basis of the first and second engine charging efficiencies. The exhaust gas recirculation as well as control thereof is realized by an electronic programmable engine control unit.
