Methods and systems are provided for adjusting engine operation based on estimated vaporized and condensed portions of water injected during a water injection event. In one example, a method may include injecting an amount of water into the intake manifold in response to engine conditions and inferring vaporized and condensed portions of the injected water based on the injected amount and a change in manifold temperature following the injection. Further, the method may include adjusting water injection and engine operating parameters in response the evaporated and/or condensed portion of water.

1. A method, comprising: injecting an amount of water into an intake manifold of an engine responsive to engine conditions; andadjusting an engine operating parameter responsive to a first portion of the amount of water that vaporized and second portion of the amount of water that remained liquid. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining the first portion based on a change in manifold temperature following the injecting and determining the second portion based on the injected amount of water and the first portion. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the change in manifold temperature following the injecting is a difference in manifold temperature from before the injecting to a duration after the injecting, where the duration is based on an estimated amount of time for the injected amount of water to vaporize. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein adjusting the engine operating parameter includes continuing to inject the amount of water into the intake manifold, without adjusting the amount of water, in response to the determined first portion being over a threshold. 5. The method of claim 2, wherein adjusting the engine operating parameter includes increasing an amount of spark advance in response to the determined first portion being greater than a threshold, where the amount of spark advance is based on the determined second portion. 6. The method of claim 2, wherein adjusting the engine operating parameter includes adjusting the amount of water injected into the intake manifold to a second amount in response to the determined first portion being less than a threshold, where the second amount is based on the determined first portion. 7. The method of claim 2, wherein adjusting the engine operating parameter includes, adjusting one or more engine operating parameters to increase airflow to the engine to purge the second portion from the intake manifold in response to the determined first portion being less than a threshold, where an amount of increase in airflow to the engine is based on the determined second portion. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein adjusting the engine operation parameter includes adjusting a first engine operating parameter in response to the first portion and adjusting a different, second engine operating parameter in response to the second portion. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the first engine operating parameter includes one or more of a subsequent amount of water to inject into the intake manifold and the second engine operating parameter includes one or more of spark timing and airflow to the engine to initiate a proactive condensate purging routine. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining the amount of water to inject into the intake manifold based on one or more of engine load, engine speed, a fuel injection amount, indication of engine knock, spark timing, and ambient conditions. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein injecting the amount of water into the intake manifold includes actuating, via a controller, a water injector coupled to the intake manifold, upstream of all engine cylinders and downstream of an intake throttle, to inject the amount of water. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising, at the same time as injecting the amount of water with the water injector, injecting an amount of fuel into one or more engine cylinders via one or more fuel injectors coupled to the one or more engine cylinders. 13. A method, comprising: following injecting a first amount of water into an intake manifold responsive to engine conditions, determining a first portion of the first amount of water that vaporized and a remaining, second portion of the first amount of water that condensed;adjusting an engine operating parameter based on the second portion; andduring a subsequent water injection event, injecting a second amount of water into the intake manifold based on the first portion. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the determining the second portion includes determining the second portion based on the injected first amount and a change in manifold temperature from before to after the injecting. 15. The method of claim 13, wherein the second amount is different than the first amount if the determined first portion is less than a threshold and wherein the second amount increases as the determined first portion decreases. 16. The method of claim 13, wherein adjusting the engine operating parameter includes increasing an amount of opening of an intake throttle to increase airflow and purge the second portion into engine cylinders of the engine in response to the second portion increasing above a threshold and a deceleration fuel shut off event. 17. The method of claim 13, wherein adjusting the engine operating parameter includes decreasing an amount of spark advance as the determined second portion increases. 18. A system, comprising: a water injector coupled to an intake manifold upstream of an engine cylinder;a temperature sensor coupled to the intake manifold;a controller including non-transitory memory with computer readable instructions for: injecting a first amount of water into the intake manifold via the water injector;determining a portion of the first amount that condensed within the intake manifold based on a change in manifold temperature measured by the temperature sensor following the injecting and the first amount of water; andadjusting engine operation based on the determined portion. 19. The system of claim 18, wherein the computer readable instructions further include instructions for adjusting the first amount of water injected into the intake manifold during a subsequent injection event based on a determined portion of the first amount that vaporized within the intake manifold, where the determined portion that vaporized is based on the change in manifold temperature. 20. The system of claim 18, wherein the water injector is coupled downstream of an intake throttle and wherein the water injector is coupled to the intake manifold upstream of intake ports of a plurality of engine cylinders.
