Abstract
An engine has an improved fuel injection control apparatus the pressure boosting and method that prevents misfire and prevents unburned fuel from entering the exhaust system. The fuel injection system has two pumps, a primary pump and a booster pump. When an abnormality occurs in the booster pump, it is stopped, and fuel injection is performed by the primary pump. When the booster pump is stopped, a fuel injection valve or an air intake device is regulated such that the air/fuel mixture formed in the combustion chambers will not misfire, and unburned fuel will not remain and enter the exhaust system.
