Abstract

Presented in this paper is the robust idle speed control of a Ford 4.6L V-8 fuel injected engine. The engine is subjected to various, nonmeasurable torque disturbances due to transmission shifts and onboard accessories. The goal of this investigation is to design a robust feedback controller which actuates the by-pass air valve based on engine speed. Issues complicating the controller design include the nonlinear nature of the engine, the induction-to-power delay of the manifold filling dynamics, and the saturation constraint of the by-pass air valve. An experimental verification is included as well as a comparison with the current Ford strategy.
