Abstract

In an internal combustion engine, it is first determined whether a load factor of the internal combustion engine is a specified value or more and the engine speed of the internal combustion engine is a specified speed or less. If these conditions are satisfied, fuel is injected from both of a port injection valve and a direct injection valve, and a fuel injection timing of the direct injection valve is decided so as to inject fuel from the direct injection valve during the compression stroke of the internal combustion engine.
