Abstract
In a fuel injection controller that controls a fuel injection device that injects fuel directly into cylinders of an engine, a unit that detects an interference period gradually shifts an injection period of fuel from the fuel injector from a first period during which the injection period does not overlap with an initial value of the interference period, and is distant from the initial value by a given value or larger toward a second period during which the injection period overlaps with the initial value of the interference period. Then, the fuel injection controller detects an actual interference period according to a variation of an air-fuel ratio (A/F value) detected by an air-fuel ratio sensor toward lean.
