Abstract
The following conditions are used as requirements for executing a fuel property detection: an intake air temperature is lower than a restart judging value; a water temperature is in a predetermined range; and it is in an idle operation. In a case that the requirements are established, an injection amount of fuel and a combustion amount of fuel are calculated. After that, the injection amount is corrected by using a learned value for correcting an error of system, and the combustion amount is corrected according an intake pressure. A fuel property parameter for evaluating the fuel property is calculated based on a ratio of an accumulated value of the combustion amount relative to an accumulated value of the injection amount during a predetermined time. A command value of the injection amount for a fuel injection valve is corrected according to the fuel property parameter calculated above. As a result, the fuel property is reflected in the command value of the injection amount.
