ABSTRACT:
Engine combustion malfunctions are detected and the responsible cylinder identified by an approach appropriate to the engine operating point by monitoring change in engine speed in a manner insensitive to engine output shaft tooth-to-tooth spacing variations, substantially linear changes in engine speed, and driveline ringing, such as from rough roads or a previously detected misfire. Multiple misfires may be detected in a single engine cycle.
