ABSTRACT:
A method is described for operating an engine coupled to an emission control device that stores and reacts oxidants such as NOx. The method transitions from lean to stoichiometric or rich operation under various conditions. For example, a periodic transition is performed with an amount of NOxstored in the device reaches a threshold, or when a tip-in from idle conditions has been identified.
