Abstract

In one aspect of the present invention, a method is disclosed that controls the pressure of actuating fluid supplied to a hydraulically-actuated injector. A target engine speed acceleration is determined, and compared to the actual engine speed acceleration to determine a desired actuating fluid pressure in order to control the fuel injection rate to start the engine.
