Abstract: A fuel injection device for an automotive internal combustion engine is disclosed, which comprises two distinct acceleration state determining means, i.e., a rapid and a slow acceleration state judgement means, for determining the amount of the asynchronous augmentation of fuel. The rapid acceleration state judgement detects the rapid acceleration state by comparing with a first threshold level the increment of the throttle opening degree over each period of an A/D conversion timing signal; the slow acceleration judgement means, on the other hand, detects the slow acceleration state by comparing with a second threshold level the increment of, for example, the throttle opening degree signal over, for example, two successive periods of the same A/D conversion time signal. When the rapid acceleration state is detected, an asynchronous augmentation of fuel for the rapid acceleration is effected.
