Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0657637A2] System for calculating mixture strength in which an electronic panel (7) is capable of comparing the voltage generated by exhaust gas sensors, in particular from a lambda probe (19) located in the exhaust manifold (21) of a petrol engine (4), with a threshold value (Str) such as to distinguish between a first and a second state (rich state/lean state), corresponding to an air/petrol mixture supplied to the engine which contains more or less petrol, respectively, than is required by the stoichiometric ratio. The system enables this threshold to be updated periodically. <IMAGE>
