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 time duration in which fuel is to be injected is determined, and compared to the actual time duration to determine a desired actuating fluid pressure in order to control the fuel injection rate.
