| Zusammenfassung: | A method and apparatus for detecting non-contributing cylinders in a reciprocating engine is provided. An accelerometer is attached to the engine and configured to generate a signal corresponding to cylinders firing in the engine. By comparing waveforms generated by a signal processor, it can be determined if a cylinder is not firing and which cylinder is not firing. |
