A control device for an internal combustion engine includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to control an injection amount and an injection timing of fuel to a target injection amount and a target injection timing set based on an engine operation state, detect an ignition timing of fuel based on a vibration component of an engine body in a specific frequency bandwidth, and correct at least one of the target injection amount and the target injection timing based on a deviation between the detected ignition timing and a target ignition timing according to the engine operation state. The specific frequency bandwidth is a bandwidth on a low frequency side of a frequency bandwidth where the engine body undergoes elastic vibration.

A fuel delivery system includes a fuel pump assembly, an extension tube, and an injection nozzle assembly. The fuel pump assembly includes a pumping chamber, an inlet valve configured to direct fuel to the pumping chamber, a piston configured to pressurize fuel in the pumping chamber, an electromagnetic actuator operatively coupled to the piston, and an outlet check valve configured to direct pressurized fuel out of the pumping chamber. The electromagnetic actuator is configured to produce a force sufficient to move the piston to pressurize fuel in the pumping chamber and direct pressurized fuel through the outlet check valve. The extension tube is located downstream of the outlet check valve, and the injection nozzle assembly is located downstream of the extension tube. The injection nozzle assembly includes a nozzle check valve configured to selectively permit pressurized fuel received from the outlet check valve through the extension tube to exit the fuel delivery system.

A high-pressure pump may include a cylinder, a plunger reciprocally driven by an eccentric to pressurize a pump chamber in the cylinder, a rider mounted on the eccentric to allow relative rotation of the eccentric, the rider presenting a face to the plunger, a tappet supported on the face of the rider for transmitting reciprocal movement from the rider to the plunger, and rotatable bearing elements that support the tappet for relative transverse movement of the face of the rider during operation of the pump. The rotatable bearing elements may be at least partially recessed in a body of the tappet. A common rail fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine comprising a common rail for distributing fuel to a plurality of fuel injectors associated with combustion cylinders of the engine may include such a pump for delivering fuel at high pressure to the common rail.

A system according to the present disclosure includes a fuel control module and at least one of a desired air per cylinder (APC) module and a predicted manifold absolute pressure (MAP) module. The desired APC module determines a desired amount of airflow to each cylinder of an engine. The predicted MAP module predicts a pressure within an intake manifold of the engine at a future time. The fuel control module selectively adjusts a fuel injection parameter of the engine based on at least one of: a change in the desired air per cylinder from a first time to a second time; and a change in the predicted manifold pressure from the first time to the second time.

An injection gate (44,144,244,344) for high pressure, high velocity secondary fluid for admixture of an atomized spray (80,180) thereof with another or primary fluid that atomizes the other fluid. The secondary fluid may be an accelerant and the primary fluid may be a low pressure fuel/air mixture in a fuel injection arrangement for an internal combustion engine. An injection billet (10,110,210,310) for an engine is interposed between the carburetor (12) and the manifold (14), with an array of such injection gates (44,244,344) paired with an array of fuel/air gates (34,234,334) about an aperture coinciding with a throttle bore (60,160,260,360) and evenly balancing the spray about the throttle bore, creating a halo effect of atomized admixture of accelerant/fuel. The injection of accelerant is directed sharply downwardly toward the center of the bore and through the injected fuel stream, atomizing the fuel thereof for a high efficiency boost of horsepower.
