Abstract
In an injection timer for a fuel injection system in which control of the timer shifts from feedback control to open loop control when the engine rotation rate is equal to or less than a specific rotation rate, a decision is made as to whether or not the operation is at startup time and, if it is, decision making for the engine rotation rate is canceled and feedback control is maintained even if the engine rotation rate is equal to or less than the specific rotation rate. Because of this, in a fuel injection system which is capable of maintaining the pump chamber pressure at a high level even at low engine rotation rates, the injection timing device can achieve both an improvement in accuracy of injection timing control and anti-pollution measures at startup. In other words, at startup, since the decision making for whether or not to switch to open loop is not required, a reduction in the accuracy of control due to degradation in the output characteristics of the engine rotation rate sensor is prevented, and since the feedback control area is expanded into the low rotation rate range, anti-pollution measures are facilitated.
