A system and method for maximizing a vehicle's fuel efficiency preferably without inconveniencing the driver, includes maximizing a ratio of a real-time parameter proportional to engine load or engine power to fuel flow or air flow rate referred to herein as the P / F ratio. This ratio is calculated to evaluate engine fuel efficiency. With the system and method, the throttle is operated incrementally to increase or decrease the throttle in a manner to maximize the P / F ratio, thus maximizing fuel efficiency, in a pulse phase. The system and method implement an on and off pulse width modulation (“PWM”) style of control to modulate engine power and acceleration to achieve the speed that the driver desires, based on the position of the accelerator pedal. When the desired speed is achieved, the throttle is released and when the speed drops a sufficient amount, the throttle is re-engaged to reach the desired speed again. When the throttle is disengaged or when the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the system and method implement a glide phase, where the vehicle coasts without use of fuel or in neutral with very limited use of fuel and minimum engine drag.

A leakage detecting apparatus includes a re-circulating passage for re-circulating an exhaust gas from an exhaust system to an air intake system in the engine, a re-circulating valve disposed in the re-circulating passage to control a flow rate of the re-circulating exhaust gas, and an A / F ratio sensor for detecting an A / F ratio of the exhaust system. An electronic control unit detects an operation amount of the re-circulating valve and calculates correlation between the operation amount and output of the A / F ratio sensor to determine a leakage in the re-circulating passage. The correlation is obtained by an inner product calculation of a vector of deviations of a time-sequence vector of the operation amount relative to a moving average and a vector of deviations of a time-sequence vector of the output of the A / F ratio sensor relative to a moving average. Leakage in the re-circulating passage is detected when an accumulated value of the inner product values over a predetermined period exceeds a threshold value.

An internal combustion engine is operated with a predetermined fixed A / F ratio in an operating range where the amount of intake air is not larger than a predetermined value but, in an operating range where the amount of intake air is larger than the predetermined value, the internal engine is operated with a variable lean A / F ratio which increases from the fixed A / F ratio as the amount of intake air increases. To achieve this, in a throttle valve (7a) whose opening is controlled based on a signal from an accelerator pedal position sensor (17), control is performed so that the correspondence ratio between the accelerator pedal position and the throttle valve opening increases as the A / F ratio increases. In the operating range where the engine is operated with a variable lean A / F ratio, the amount of intake air is increased by using a turbocharger (2). Then, fuel atomization is promoted by controlling the intake air cooling effect of an intercooler (6) so that the temperature of the intake air rises as the A / F ratio increases.
