Regarding S.I. gasoline engine, it is one of the most important matters to eliminate cyclic variation of combustion. Especially with high compression ratio and high boosted engine, the difficulties increase more. This paper describes the analysis of combustion process precisely by using many ion-current probes and CFD with the unique approaches. The number of used ion-current probes is 80 and they are mounted on whole combustion chamber wall especially including moving intake and exhaust valve faces. Thus cyclic variations of flame propagation can be measured precisely under high compression ratio and high boosted conditions in a multi-cylinder engine. In addition, CFD combustion simulation is conducted through full four strokes of continuous nine cycles. Moreover air motion and pressure vibration in intake and exhaust manifolds in whole cycles are considered. These unique approaches have made CFD result correspond to the measurement result of cyclic variations of actual combustion. As the result, the principal factor of the cyclic variation of combustion is revealed.
