Abstract

An electromagnetic fuel injector is provided with a first coil having a large rate of change in time of magnetomotive force and a second coil having a smaller rate of change in time of magnetomotive force than the first coil. During a valve opening operation at the time of opening the valve, current is passed through at least the first coil, and then current of a smaller current value than in the opening operation is caused to flow so as to hold the valve open, using the first and second coils.
