Abstract
A fuel injection type internal combustion engine has a pair of intake ports provided in a cylinder head to connect a pair of intake valve bores facing a combustion chamber with a single intake inlet end. A fuel injection valve is disposed in an orientation frm the intake inlet end toward both the intake valve bores and includes an assist-air supply means for finely atomizing the fuel. A valve operating mechanism is provided for selectively stopping the intake through one of the intake ports in accordance with the operational condition of the engine. A control means is connected to the assist-air supply means for controlling the assist-air supply means to stop the supply of assist air from the assist-air supply means in at least a portion of an operational region in which the intake through one of the intake ports is substantially stopped. This ensures that the impediment of the production of the swirl by the assist air can be avoided by stopping the supply of assist air in a condition in which the intake through one of the intake ports is substantially stopped to produce a swirl in the combustion chamber.
