ABSTRACT:
A device for the detection of ignition misfire in an internal combustion engine is disclosed. A pressure detector detects changes in the combustion pressure of the engine, and a timing detector calculates a reference angular position of the engine. An ignition/misfire detection unit detects occurrences of ignition/misfire. The detection unit compares the output of the pressure detector with predetermined positive and negative reference voltages, and produces signals when these thresholds are passed. The period of a signal produced from the point of positive value detection to the negative value detection is counted and another period which is double the period from the generation of the positive value to the signal from the timing detector unit is counted. These two signals are then compared against one another, using a predetermined program, to detect if ignition or misfire has occurred in the internal combustion engine. A sample and hold circuit may also delay the value obtained by the pressure detector, if necessary.
