Abstract

A fuel injection control system for an in-cylinder direct injection, spark-ignition internal combustion engine employing a fuel injector through which fuel is injected directly into a combustion chamber of each of engine cylinders, comprises an engine-cylinder identification circuit for identifying an angular phase of each of the engine cylinders and for making a cylinder identification action, a first interrupt-injection circuit for executing a first interrupt injection operation for a first engine cylinder being on an intake stroke just after completion of the first cylinder identification action executed by the engine-cylinder identification circuit during an engine starting period, when exceeding a normal injection timing at the intake stroke for the first engine cylinder, and a second interrupt-injection circuit for executing a second interrupt injection operation for a second engine cylinder being on a compression stroke just after completion of the first cylinder identification action executed by the engine-cylinder identification circuit during the engine starting period, when exceeding a normal injection timing at the intake stroke for the second engine cylinder.
