A new torsional vibration–based method for the detection of engine misfires was proposed based on the discrete Fourier transform of angular acceleration of the crankshaft. By analysis of the sensitivity of the discrete Fourier transform to fluctuations in speed and load of the engine, the characteristic harmonics and characteristic discrete Fourier transforms of a cylinder were defined. Then cylinder misfires under any operating conditions were diagnosed by checking the characteristic discrete Fourier transforms of the cylinder at its characteristic harmonics. An experiment on a four-stroke, six-cylinder diesel engine showed that this method accurately identified misfire faults and the misfiring cylinders.
