Abstract
A pilot injection control system for an internal combustion engine comprises a plurality of fuel injection nozzles, the valve-opening pressure of one of which (the reference nozzle) is set slightly higher than that of the other nozzles, means for detecting the pilot injection of the reference nozzle, and means for feedback controlling the pilot injection quantity of the reference nozzle based on the detected pilot injection. The system is able to effectively control the pilot injection of all nozzles by actually controlling the pilot injection of only one nozzle and can therefore be implemented at low cost.
