Modified calibration strategies for controlling an internal combustion engine and monitoring catalyst performance are disclosed. The modified calibration strategies are implemented using an engine and test cell/catalyst chamber setup wherein the engine is a Euro V 1.2 L turbo gasoline direct injection engine and test cells/catalyst chamber are implemented as substantially free of platinum group metals (PGM) catalysts, herein referred as ZPGM catalysts, and synergized PGM (SPGM) catalysts including a stoichiometric spinel structure within the catalyst configuration. The utilization of an open ECU enables the modified calibration of the engine out targeted AFR. The conventional ECU AFR control strategies are not modified to have the ECU AFR control strategies to continue running normally and only the final engine out targeted AFR values are modified by applying offset AFR values. The modified calibration strategies improve engine operation and catalyst conversion efficiency of the ZPGM and SPGM catalysts including the spinel structures.

1. A method for optimizing the air to fuel ratio (AFR) of an engine using a transient drive cycle testing protocol, the method comprising: providing from a combustion engine an exhaust flow exposed to a catalyst, wherein the catalyst comprises:a substrate,a washcoat layer deposited overlying the substrate, the washcoat layer comprising a support oxide, andan overcoat layer deposited overlying the washcoat, the overcoat layer comprising a spinel having the general formula: AxB3-xO4,where A and B are selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni, Mn, Co, Cu, Al, Sr, and Zr, and x is a number from 0.1 to 2;testing the exhaust flow using a transient drive cycle testing protocol model comprising a plurality of urban driving cycle (UDC) phases having at least two idle phases;providing at least one target AFR value during each UDC phase;determining at least one modified AFR value during each UDC phase, wherein the at least one modified AFR value varies from the at least one target AFR; andadjusting one of the at least one target AFR value to correspond to one of the at least one modified AFR value during at least one of the at least two idle phases;wherein the at least one modified AFR value is indicative of at least one of a more lean or a more rich condition. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the more lean condition is determined at an R-value of 0.02 from about zero seconds to 300 seconds, and in accordance with a NEDC testing protocol. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the more rich condition is determined at an R-value of +0.02 from about 300 seconds to 1,180 seconds, and in accordance with a NEDC testing protocol. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the conversion rate of NOx present in the exhaust stream is improved by said adjusting ones of the at least one target AFR value to correspond to ones of the at least one modified AFR value during at least one of the at least two idle phases. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the conversion rate of NOx is improved by at least 30%. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the conversion rate of NOx is improved by at least 90%. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the transient drive cycle testing protocol is selected from the group consisting of the New European Driving Cycle testing protocol, the World Harmonized Transient Cycle protocol, the EPA Federal Test Procedure, and the Japanese JC08 cycle protocol. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the transient drive cycle testing protocol comprises at least four UDC phases. 9.

The method of claim 1, wherein the catalyst is free of a platinum based metal. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the overcoat layer consists of CuMn2O4 supported on a Nb-doped zirconia support oxide. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising a second overcoat layer overlying the impregnation layer, the second overcoat layer comprising a platinum group metal. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the catalyst further comprises an impregnation layer overlying the overcoat layer, the impregnation layer comprising a Cu—Mn spinel. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the platinum group metal is present in a loading amount that is from about 1 g/ft3 to about 10 g/ft3, based on the total volume of the second overcoat layer, and wherein the second overcoat layer includes alumina as a support. 20.
