Abstract
A fuel injection control system is arranged to decide the execution of a pilot fuel injection based on evaluation functions indicative of degree of a pilot fuel injection demand, to decide an engine operating condition, to calculate a fuel injection quantity for each cylinder when the engine operating condition is in the predetermined low-load operating region, to calculate a pilot fuel injection quantity for each cylinder by multiplying a predetermined ratio to the fuel injection quantity in the predetermined low-load operating region and when the pilot fuel injection is executed, and to calculate a main fuel injection quantity by subtracting the pilot fuel injection quantity from the fuel injection quantity. Therefore, this arrangement enables accurate decision as to the execution of the pilot fuel injection and proper control of pilot and main fuel injection quantities.
