INTRODUCTION
Increasing requirements for a fuel economy exhaust emissions and the output performance and also the complexity of the automotive engines necessitate the development of a new generation of the engine control functionality. Engine torque estimation function is an important function for an engine torque model, misfire diagnostics and dependability. The engine torque estimation function is based on monitoring of the cylinder individual fluctuations of the high resolution engine speed signal [1]. The engine speed signal is based on the measurements of a passage time between two subsequent teeth on a crank wheel. The passage time decreases as the rotational speed increases thus the time interval errors increase. Moreover, low frequency oscillations from the power train and high frequency oscillations due to the crankshaft torsion, together with vibrations induced by the road, act as disturbances on the crankshaft. These disturbances influence directly the performance of the engine speed signal and consequently the torque monitoring function. Many misfire diagnostic functions utilize a low rate sampling of the engine crankshaft speed. Typically, the crankshaft speed is sampled once per cylinder firing event. The engine speed can be approximated by a trigonometric polynomial due to the periodic nature of both engine rotational dynamics and combustion forces as functions of a crank angle [2]. Misfire is the state of an engine where the combustion does not occur due to the errors in fueling or ignition. As a consequence, such misfires affect long term performance of the exhaust emission control system. The misfires cause changes in the crankshaft rate of rotation, because the misfired cylinder is not able to provide the torque. Engine misfire diagnostic functions are based on monitoring of the cylinder individual fluctuations of the high resolution engine speed signal or a passage time between subsequent teeth on a crank wheel. The high resolution engine speed signal is calculated as a ratio of the length of the angular segment on the crank wheel and the passage time for this segment. The passage time becomes less as the rotational speed raises, thereby time interval errors rise.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
As a rule, a passage time between two teeth on a crank wheel is measured in production engines. The high resolution engine speed signal is then calculated as a ratio of the length of the angular segment on the crank wheel and the passage time for this segment. For example, the AVL CONCERTO software tools which also can be used for evaluation of the frequency contents of the engine signals require expensive license which should be annually renewed.

We prepare hardware for measurement signal value in voltage from engine crankshaft sensor on real engine. For this, we use universal measurement toll QUANTUM MX-840 and engine embedeed crank shaft speed sensor [3]. The sampling rate it’s very high in interest for high resolution of measurement.

In this sense exist one problem. When rotation speed rise, signal amplitude and frequency also raised [3] and normally, distribution may be different.
Verifying data First off all, we evaluated signal distribution for different samples [4]. Normal working condition are shown in figure 13.

After fitting data distribution histogram, it is clear that mean value and form of fitting curve are good start point for defining membership function (MF) for fuzzy sets which may be used in expert system [5], [6], [7]. This expert system then must be capable to make decision in case of misfire. One of mayor problem it is a calibration, especially when we see figure 15.

CONCLUSIONS
Automotive makers are not published detailed engine onboard system for fault diagnosis. Complex algorithms for evaluation engine proper or improper work are secret, for reason of expensive development, researching and competition. It is known that engine revolution analysis is excellent tool for this purpose. Capability for capture real data in working conditions, and analyzing them with existing software (for example Matlab) in combination with simulating failures enabled possibility for education, scientific and other tasks. Measurement data (signal) can be analyzed, transformed, filtered, and combined with commercial software. Main goal in this paper it is how to determining membership function (MF) for data distribution signal for fault decision expert system based on fuzzy logic. In combination with another data (for example O2 sensor or intake manifold embedded sensors) the Quality of decision may be strength. One of the key techniques used in this paper is the statistical techniques. A periodic nature of the engine rotational dynamics and a cycle-to-cycle variability allows the presentation of the engine signals as statistical signals utilizing such statistical variables as mean values and standard deviations. These statistical methods are the most future prospective methods for a new generation of robust engine functionality.
