    Abstract: A method of monitoring, while on board an automotive vehicle, one or more of catalyst performance, engine misfire, and combustion quality, the vehicle having an internal combustion engine (13) equipped with a catalyst (21) for converting noxious emissions of the engine, comprising: (i) exposing at least one pair of EGO sensors to (55, 56, 59, 60) substantially the same emissions either exiting from the engine or from the catalyst, one (55) of the EGO sensors having its electrode highly catalytic, and the other sensor (56) having its electrode low-to-noncatalytic; (ii) comparing the outputs of the sensor electrodes (amplitude, frequency, or phase shift) to determine if there is a sufficient differential to indicate a misfire or poor combustion in the case of the sensors being located downstream of the engine exhaust but upstream of the catalyst, or indicating poor catalyst efficiency in the case of the sensors being placed substantially immediately downstream of the catalyst. Two pairs of sensors (55, 56, 59, 60) may be used, a first pair being placed substantially immediately downstream of the catalyst, the pairs of EGO sensors being incorporated into a closed-loop feedback control of the engine fuel control system.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved emission control system. The system has particular applicability for use in an internal combustion engine (10) utilising alternative fuels such as natural gas. More particularly, the invention provides an apparatus and method wherein hydrogen is removed by a conditioning catalyst (16) from the exhaust gas stream (21) to produce a conditioned exhaust gas (22). An exhaust gas oxygen (EGO) sensor (18) is in communication with the conditioned exhaust gas (22) and generates a signal in response to the sensed oxygen concentration of the conditioned exhaust gas (22). The A/F mixture entering engine (10) is adjusted by closed loop control means (14) in response to the signal generated by EGO sensor (18). The removal of hydrogen from the exhaust gas stream (21) eliminates lean shifts and allows oxygen sensor (18) and closed loop control means (14) to more accurately control the A/F ratio. As a result of improved control over the A/F mixture entering engine (10), main three-way catalyst (20) optimally converts noxious components present in the conditioned exhaust gas (22) to produce a purified exhaust stream (23).
