Evaluation: Idling speed smooth running control display

    The injection system is equipped with an idling speed smooth running control. There may be power differences between the individual cylinders (component tolerances, injector delivery, compressions etc.) which are recognised and equalized via selective injected quantities.

    Recognition at idling speed is via the signal from the engine speed sender which delivers four signals per crankshaft revolution to the control unit. If the signals are delivered at the same rhythm then all cylinders work the same. If one cylinder is weaker then the crankshaft takes longer for the next half revolution. Conversely a more powerful cylinder accelerates the crankshaft so less time is taken.

    If the control unit recognises a difference, then the relevant cylinder is given more or less fuel, until the engine runs evenly again.

    The measured value block displays the injected quantity differences of the individual cylinders compared with No. 3 cylinder that is required to ensure an even engine idling speed.

    +... mg/H: The relevant cylinder is less powerful than No. 3 cylinder and is therefore supplied with more fuel.

    -... mg/H: The relevant cylinder is more powerful than No. 3 cylinder and is therefore supplied with less fuel.
