Abstract
A method for controlling fuel injection to an engine may include calculating an amount of air passing through a throttle, which is actually controlled, from a calculated amount of air in an intake manifold, which is calculated from a pressure value detected by a pressure sensor installed in the intake manifold connecting the throttle and a cylinder to each other, and a calculated pressure change in the intake manifold. The method may further include predicting an actual amount of air to be sucked into the cylinder when mixed with fuel from the calculated amount of air in the intake manifold and the calculated amount of air passing through the throttle. The method may also include injecting an amount of fuel according to the predicted actual amount of air to be sucked into the cylinder.
