A starting experiment has been conducted to investigate the effect of ignition timing on the starting characteristics for linear engine designed by the research group independently. The fuel injection pulse and ignition timing are controlled by the electronic control unit (ECU) which is developed based on the piston displacement. The combustion characteristics of the engine in starting process are studied based on the cylinder pressure measured by the transient pressure sensor. The result shows that the best ignition timing for linear engine starting is 2.4mm~2.8mm when the fuel injection pulse is 5.4ms and this best region of ignition timing is also meet the requirement of the combustion in the next several cycles.

With progress in internal combustion engine fuel economy, variable cylinder systems have attracted attention. We measured fuel consumption in cylinder cutoff by stopping the injector alone, collected data changing the location and number of cutoff cylinders and when varying the cutoff cylinder, and compared the difference in fuel cost reduction. A transistor is inserted serially into the injector control circuit of the electronic control unit (ECU). By controlling the transistor via microcomputer, the injector is turned on or off independently from ECU control in obtain cylinder cutoff. The amount of fuel consumption is measured using enhancement mode of a failure diagnostic device based on the OBD II standard to collect injection time and rotational speed of the injector for a predetermined time and calculated based on this data. We confirmed that by stopping the injector alone, fuel consumption was reduced 6 to 22% and is reduced when the cutoff cylinder is varied.

The achievement of electronic-based motorcycle engine or Fuel Injection (FI) has better capability or power compared to conventional system vehicles. This research aims to determine the performance difference of using racing electronic control unit (ECU) compared to standard ECU of an automatic motorcycle. The experiment was carried out on a Honda Vario 125cc motorcycle manufactured in 2013. The research method is experimental research and uses descriptive statistic method. Research findings inform that the maximum torque of the standard ECU is 16.63 Nm at 3500 rpm, and the maximum power is 6.36 KW at 4500 rpm. The racing ECU (Iquteche) has a maximum torque of 22.42 Nm at 2500 rpm, and maximum power of 7.70 kW. The apparent increase in torque is around 36.58 % and in power is around 33.9 %. It can be concluded that the Iquteche ECU provides a more optimized engine performance on an automatic motorcycle.Prestasi mesin sepeda motor berbasis elektronik atau Fuel Injection (FI) memiliki kemampuan atau tenaga yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan kendaraan sistem konvensional.

In the current scenario of automotive industries, it is much challenging for the research and developers to develop updated engines/vehicles to satisfy the proposed demands of environmental policy levels. To achieve the expected demands of emissions coming out from an engine exhaust not only with the help of converters in the exhaust pipe line but also the emissions should be controlled during burning of fuel with air in the ignition chamber itself. The controlled combustion of fuel and air requires not only the control fuel injection timing with duration of injection and tune up of the complete fuel injection system with hardware components of ECU but also requires the control of ignition timing. The complete electronic control for petrol engine with direct injection unit is required to communicate between PC and an engine. CAN with SPI interface is used to communicate the electronic control unit with engine

The main objective of this paper was to conceive a new electronic control circuit to the throttle device. The throttle mechanical actuator is the most important part in an automotive gasoline engine. Among the different control strategies recently reported, an easy to implement control scheme is an open research topic in the analog electronic engineering field. Hence, we propose using the nonlinear dwell switching control theory for an analog electronic control unit, to manipulate an automotive throttle plate. Due to the switching mechanism commuting between a stable and an unstable controllers, the resultant closed-loop system is robust enough to the control objective. This fact is experimentally evidenced. The proposed electronic controller uses operational amplifiers along with an Arduino unit. This unit is just employed to generate the related switching signal that can be replaced by using, for instance, the timer IC555. Thus, this study is a contribution on design and realization of an electronic control circuit to the throttle device.

Due to the fact that it is generally difficult to accurately calculate the nonlinear section of flow characteristics curve of small injection pulse width of electronic control injector, it is impossible for electronic control unit (ECU) to accurately control fuel injection quantity when the small engine such as motorcycle is under a working condition of idle speed or small load. This paper introduces the principle and method to make a fitting for flow characteristics of nonlinear section in the developed software system in details. Take the electronic control injector of motorcycle as an example, the programming method combined with LabVIEW and MATLAB is utilized to make a fitting treatment for accurate fuel injection quantity obtained via measuring single-chip microcomputer through Smoothing Spline method, so as to obtain the flow characteristics of small injection pulse width and normal injection pulse width of electronic control injector of motorcycle.

The advancement in embedded systems, which includes the mass deployment of internet-connected electronics, allows the concept of Internet of Things (IoT), to become a reality. This paper discusses one example of how an internet-connected embedded system is utilized in an automotive system. An Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which functions as a control unit in a fuel injection system, are equipped with Wi-Fi capability and installed on 110cc motorcycle. The ECU is connected to multiple sensors that is used by the ECU as part of control system, as well as giving raw data in real time to the server by using Wi-Fi as the communication medium. The server will accumulate data transmitted from ECU by using MQTT protocol, chosen due to its minimal data profile. The data can be visualized through web portal, or opened by any other web-enabled devices. The data collected may also be used later for any other purposes, such as On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system, etc.
