Abstract
A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine has a fuel injector disposed in a main air passage upstream of a throttle valve. A part of air flowing through the main air passage is caused to flow through a by-pass air passage having outlet ports open to the main air passage upstream of the injection orifice of the injector. A thermal type air flow meter measures the rate of air flow through the by-pass air passage. In order to prevent whirling-up of injected fuel and resultant adhesion of the fuel to walls adjacent to the by-pass air passage outlet ports, the cross-sectional area of the main air passage adjacent to the by-pass air passage outlet ports is determined to be greater than that of the main air passage around the throttle valve when in its fully open position.
