Abstract
Provided is an engine control device capable of suppressing deterioration of combustion stability due to a change in engine temperature in an engine which performs lean combustion or EGR combustion. When lean combustion in which an air-fuel mixture leaner than a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is burned or exhaust gas recirculation combustion in which a diluted air-fuel mixture is burned by re-suctioning exhaust gas discharged from the combustion chamber into the combustion chamber is performed, a ratio of a fuel injection amount during a compression stroke to a total fuel injection amount during one combustion cycle is increased as a temperature of an engine decreases.
