Abstract
An exhaust gas controller for an engine is equipped to appropriately regenerate a filter while restraining a deterioration in fuel efficiency. An oxidation catalyst and a filter capable of collecting particles in an exhaust passage, such that a regenerative injection in which fuel is injected for regenerating the filter is performed, even when a main injection is stopped. Under a first operating condition, in which the main injection is performed and a regeneration condition for the filter is satisfied, the regenerative injection is performed after the main injection. Under a second operating condition, in which the main injection is stopped and the regeneration condition for the filter is satisfied, a fuel injector is controlled to perform a former injection Q1 during a compression stroke and latter injections Q2, Q3 during an expansion stroke, as the regenerative injection.
