Abstract

A fuel injection controller of a cylinder injection engine selects an injection mode from various fuel injection modes including an intake stroke injection mode, in which fuel is injected during an intake stroke, and a compression stroke injection mode, in which fuel is injected during a compression stroke. The controller includes a selector for selecting the compression stroke injection mode when the engine is cool if the temperature of the engine when the engine is started is within a predetermined temperature range and for selecting the intake stroke injection mode when the engine is cool if the temperature of the engine when the engine is started is higher than the predetermined temperature range.
