Abstract

A method for engine drivability robustness includes: dividing, by an engine controller, an engine state into a starting condition, a stop condition, and a deceleration condition; dividing an injection mode index of a fuel injection into a suction compression injection of the starting condition, a suction split injection of the stop condition, and a suction compression split injection of the deceleration condition, respectively, depending on a low volatile fuel condition; and performing a variable indexing mode to prevent an engine off by applying a lambda control factor for a rich lambda control by an increase in fuel amount to the deceleration condition.
