A fuel injection amount control apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes an ECU that commands a learning-purpose injection when a first learning condition regarding operation state and a second learning condition regarding load connection state are satisfied, and calculates an injection performance value that corresponds to the actual injection amount based on the amount of change in rotation speed, and further determines whether a delay of the learning process is permitted based on whether the learning process, despite occurrence of the delay, can be completed before the injector performance reaches a permissible limit value, and forces, when the delay is not permitted, the load connection state to be a specific connection state so as to satisfy the second learning condition. When it is determined that the delay of the learning process is permitted, the delay is permitted until the two learning conditions are satisfied.

Fuel injection amount control apparatus for internal combustion engine, control system for power unit, and fuel injection amount control method for internal combustion engine

A start control apparatus of an internal combustion engine comprises an ignition device for igniting an air-fuel mixture in a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, a start demanding device for demanding a start of the internal combustion engine, a starting device for starting the internal combustion engine, a determining device for determining a possibility of a self-ignition of the internal combustion engine at a time when a start demand is issued from the start demanding device, and a start procedure control device for igniting the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber by the ignition device after the start demand from the start demanding device in the case where the determining device determines that the possibility of the self-ignition of the internal combustion engine is higher than a predetermined level, thereafter starting the internal combustion engine by the starting device.
