Abstract
An internal combustion is capable of switching, during engine operation, between a low-temperature combustion state in which an intake air with a high EGR rate is burned to operate the engine, and a normal combustion state in which an intake air with a low EGR rate is burned to operate the engine. In the internal combustion engine, a pilot injection is executed in addition to a main fuel injection, and furthermore the execution of the pilot injection is restricted during the engine operation with a combustion state switched to the low-temperature combustion state.
