Abstract
An apparatus of estimating fuel injection state of a fuel injection system have at least three injectors. The first and second injectors have fuel pressure sensors respectively. The third injector has no fuel pressure sensor. The apparatus detects an injected cylinder waveform to the first injector when the first injector injects fuel. The apparatus detects a first non-injected cylinder waveform to the second injector when the first injector injects fuel. The apparatus calculates correlations between the injected cylinder waveform and the first non-injected cylinder waveform. The apparatus acquires a second non-injected cylinder waveform detected by the first or second fuel pressure sensor when the third injector injects fuel. The apparatus estimates fuel injection state injected from the third injector based on the second non-injected cylinder waveform and the correlations.
