Abstract
A fuel-injected internal combustion engine wherein fuel is injected in dependence upon a quantity or volume of air supplied to the engine. A throttle valve controls the airflow rate with an O.sub.2 probe, arranged in an exhaust manifold, controlling a timing valve through a control device for enabling a timed relief of injection pressure of the fuel. An ignition starter switch is connected to the control device in such a manner that the timing valve is fully open during an operation of the ignition starter switch so as to enable a starting boost. An adjustable timing member is coupled to an operating switch provided in the control device, which operating switch closes automatically after a termination of the starting process. The timing member maintains the timing valve in a fully open position during a specific time span so as to provide for an after-start boost. An additional timing member is adapted to maintain the timing valve in a fully open position during a short time span so as to enable an acceleration enrichment. The control device renders the start boost, after-start boost, and acceleration enrichment ineffective upon the probe reaching its normal operating temperature.
