ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) mechanism for transporting a controlled amount of exhaust gas generated by the engine from the exhaust manifold to an intake manifold of the engine. An electronic engine controller (EEC) controls the EGR rate by determining a base EGR rate as a function of a plurality of engine operating parameters and a blending value which increases the base EGR rate over a predetermined period of time. A maximum EGR rate value is then determined as a function of a value indicative of the ratio of current air charge drawn into an intake manifold of the engine to the peak aircharge available to the engine at wide-open throttle and at the current rotational speed of the engine and the ambient barometric. The base EGR rate is then compared against the maximum EGR rate value and the EGR rate is determined as a function of the lesser of the two values.
