ABSTRACT:
An idle speed control system for a direct injection spark ignition engine controlled to operate in either homogeneous air/fuel modes or stratified air/fuel modes. A desired idle speed is set to optimize fuel economy and avoid rough engine operation during various air/fuel operating modes. During rough idle conditions and non stoichiometric air/fuel operation engine air/fuel is enriched until either rough idle ceases or a rich air/fuel limit is reached. During smooth idle operation, and non stoichiometric air/fuel operation, engine air/fuel is enleaned until either rough idle occurs, a lean air/fuel limit reached, or desired fuel economy attained. After the lean limit is reached, and when operating in a non-stoichiometric non-stratified air/fuel mode, and when not operating at desired fuel economy, ignition timing is advanced until an advance limit is reached and desired idle speed is thereafter decreased.
