Electronic engine controls based on non-intrusive diagnostics can significantly help in complying with the stricter and stricter regulations on pollutants emissions and fuel consumption. The aim of this paper is the use of a low-cost linear capacitive accelerometer placed on the engine block for non-intrusive diagnosis of combustion process in spark ignition engines. In particular, good correspondences between the engine block vibrations and the combustion pressure signal were obtained. The angular position of pressure peak evaluated by accelerometer data can be used in a closed-loop control system for real time control of spark advance.
