Abstract

This invention relates to a 4-cycle in-cylinder injection internal combustion engine in which fuel is injected directly into a combustion chamber, and specifically to an in-cylinder injection internal combustion engine suited for use as an internal combustion engine which performs premixed combustion at the time of a high power output but stratified combustion at the time of a low power output and switches the state of each of the combustions depending on an operation state of the engine.
