A method for injecting a predetermined total fuel quantity via multiple injections using a fuel injector having a solenoid drive for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The method includes determining a first target injection quantity to be injected per injection to inject the total fuel quantity throughout a series of consecutive injections; and performing a first subseries of consecutive injections, where the fuel injector is actuated according to the first target injection quantity. The method also includes determining a first fuel quantity injected during the first subseries of injections; determining a second target injection quantity to be injected per injection in a second subseries of consecutive injections, to inject the total fuel quantity throughout the first subseries and the second subseries of consecutive injections; and performing the second subseries of injections. The fuel injector is actuated according to the second target injection quantity.

Method and motor controller for multiple injections with quantity correction for an internal combustion engine

A method for controlling the total injection mass per working cycle during a multiple injection operation of a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine is provided. In the method, an injection mass difference is determined from individual injection pulse to individual injection pulse, and transferred to the next individual injection pulse, in stepwise fashion. The injection mass difference remaining in the penultimate individual injection pulse is transferred to the final individual injection pulse to achieve a total injection mass with improved tolerance.
