Abstract
A fuel injector control apparatus and system of controlling fuel injector operation is disclosed. The control utilizes signals representative of fuel vaporization parameters including conductive and convective fuel flow characteristics. In particular, the presence of liquid fuel on the walls of an intake port which fails to vaporize upon injection is compensated for by the fuel injector control. Algorithms are utilized for controlling fuel injection based upon the convective fuel vapor flow mass and the conductive fuel vaporization rate.
