Controller for a direct-injection internal combustion engine and method of controlling the direct-injection internal combustion engine

摘要

It is determined whether there is a fuel-injection history when the engine is started under very low temperature conditions. If there is the fuel-injection history, a current number of times cutting off ignition is to be performed is calculated, using a requested number of times of cutting off of ignition, and a recorded number of times of fuel injection in the fuel-injection history during cutting off ignition that was performed when it was attempted to start the engine last time. Cutting off ignition is performed based on the calculated value.
