Abstract

A multi-valve manifold injected internal combustion engine. The fuel injector has a spray pattern that is directed primarily toward each of the intake valve seats. An air control system is incorporated, however, that directs the airflow primarily toward the center intake valve seat under some running conditions so as to improve fuel stratification.
