Abstract

See full text

An electronic engine controller controls the catalytic converter temperature by generating a desired rich air/fuel ratio that will maintain the catalytic converter at a predetermined temperature. The actual air/fuel ratio is ramped to the desired air/fuel ratio at a first rate when the catalytic converter temperature is greater than a first predetermined temperature. The actual air/fuel ratio is ramped to the desired air/fuel ratio at a second rate when the catalytic converter temperature is greater than a second predetermined temperature but less than the first predetermined temperature.
