Abstract
A variation waveform of fuel pressure is obtained by use of a fuel pressure sensor which detects pressure of fuel supplied to an injector. A quantity of fuel supplied to the injector is estimated based on a waveform of the detected pressure that is greater than a reference value due to a fuel pumping, in the obtained variation waveform. Especially, in a case that the fuel pressure sensor is provided to each of a plurality of injectors, it is desirable to obtain the variation waveform based on the output of the fuel pressure sensor provided to a cylinder in which no fuel injection is currently performed.
