Abstract
A fuel injection control device controls fuel injection of a spark-ignition internal combustion engine for direct injection into a cylinder and independently controls circulation of a coolant in a head-side cooling channel and in a block-side cooling channel. The fuel injection control device is provided with a controller that sets a fuel injection timing for cooling the inside of the cylinder such that an intake valve closing timing occurs during a reduction in gas temperature inside the cylinder due to evaporative latent heat of the injected fuel, while the coolant circulates in the head-side cooling channel and the circulation of the coolant in the block-side cooling channel is stopped. The controller injects the fuel based on the fuel injection timing for cooling the inside of the cylinder.
