Abstract
A direct injection internal combustion engine employs a spray guided combustion method, wherein a fuel spray injected from a fuel injection valve is collected at an electrode section of a spark plug so that satisfactorily high combustion performance may be achieved even with a small amount of injected fuel. The engine includes spray control posts 30 arranged on both sides of the spark plug 5, for guiding the fuel injected from the fuel injection valve 4 to be directed toward the electrode section 10 of the spark plug 5.
