Abstract

In an engine, which has a supercharger and which rotates a generator running at high-idle speed, the rotational speed of the supercharger is accelerated in advance before performing a fuel supply so as to prevent a sudden reduction in the rotational speed due to a suddenly increased load during starting and operating time. A fuel injection device (1), which injects a specified quantity of fuel into an engine cylinder at a specified fuel injection timing and discharges exhaust gas at a specified temperature when the engine is running at unloaded high-idle speed, includes an actuator (14) connected to an injector (13) for controlling fuel injection, a load sensor such as an engine speed sensor (41), and a controller (44) which signals the actuator to cause the actual fuel injection timing to be behind the specified fuel injection timing, hence increasing the exhaust gas temperature at the high-idle-running to be higher than the specified exhaust gas temperature. When the high-idle speed at the time of loading becomes lower than a specified threshold or the loading becomes more than a specified threshold, the controller signals the actuator to cause the actual fuel injection timing to…
