Filed:

Jul 29, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/710715

Inventors:

Ryan McGee - Ann Arbor MI, US
Chris Kapolnek - Dearborn MI, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

701022000, 180065300

Abstract:

A vehicle and method are provided that determine a misfire torque limit for an engine in the vehicle. The vehicle includes an electric machine operable to provide torque to the engine. The method includes commanding the engine to operate at a predetermined torque and a predetermined speed, thereby putting the engine in an idle state. An output torque of the engine is then determined while the engine is in the idle state. A torque offset, defined as the difference between the torque command and the determined engine output torque, is also determined. The misfire torque limit for the engine is then determined based at least in part on the torque offset.

International Classification:

F02D 28/00
F02M 25/07
F01N 3/18

US Classification:

701102

Abstract:

Methods and systems for increasing fuel economy of a vehicle including a SCR catalyst are presented. In one example, an amount of EGR provided to an engine is decreased in response to performance of the SCR being within a predetermined range of performance. The methods and systems may increase vehicle fuel economy while vehicle tailpipe emissions are achieved.
