Abstract:
Methods and systems for correcting cam angle measurements for engine-to-engine build variation are disclosed. In one example, a method comprises learning cam angle corrections to update a measured cam angle responsive to air-fuel ratio errors during selected conditions, and learning air and fueling errors responsive to the air-fuel ratio error otherwise. In this way, cam angle errors due to engine build variation may be corrected, thereby improving other air and fuel adaptation methods and improving engine emissions.
