Abstract
A control apparatus for diesel engines controls the energization of glow plugs each of which is disposed in a cylinder of a diesel engine and heated by an energizing current flowing therethrough. When fuel supply to the engine is resumed after the engine temperature has fallen due to the interruption of fuel supply during a decelerating operation of the engine and further when fuel supply is enriched during an accelerating operation of the engine while it is cold, the control apparatus controls the energization of the glow plugs, thereby promoting the combustion of the engine and improving the combustion efficiency of the engine.
