Abstract
A spark ignition internal combustion engine includes: intake and exhaust valves disposed at a ceiling part of a combustion chamber; and a fuel injection valve including a tip end portion including injection holes, and being structured to inject fuel through the injection holes toward a crown of a piston, wherein the tip end portion of the fuel injection valve is arranged in a region of the ceiling part surrounded by the intake and exhaust valves. A fuel injection control includes: determining a tip end portion fuel temperature directly or indirectly, which is a temperature of fuel at the tip end portion of the fuel injection valve; and setting a fuel injection timing advanced, in response to a condition that the tip end portion fuel temperature is higher than a temperature threshold value, wherein the temperature threshold value relates to flash boiling of fuel at the injection holes.
