Fuel injection control apparatus

Claim 2

In a fuel injection control apparatus comprising a memory for producing an output representing a required amount of fuel injection in accordance with the engine operating conditions, a first injection valve for supplying fuel to said engine, a second injection valve for supplying fuel to said engine when the load on said engine is great, and means for introducing fuel injected through said first and second fuel injection valves to a combustion chamber, said apparatus producing pulses having time intervals corresponding to the data produced from said memory, said first and second fuel injection valves being driven for fuel injection in response to said pulses; the improvement further comprising detector means for detecting an injection control signal produced together with said data produced in accordance with the engine operating conditions, and first gate means for controlling said second injection valve, said first gate means being energized in response to said injection control signal, said second injection valve being driven by said pulses having the time intervals corresponding to the output data from said memory.

Claim 3
