Abstract: An internal combustion engine control apparatus is configured to control an internal combustion engine including a piston reciprocating in a cylinder and a fuel injector arranged to inject a fuel into a combustion chamber facing the piston in the cylinder. The internal combustion engine control apparatus includes an electronic control unit having a microprocessor and a memory. The microprocessor is configured to perform controlling the fuel injector so as to inject the fuel in an injectable area from a first crank angle at which an intake stroke is started to a second crank angle at which a compression stroke is ended, and setting an injection frequency of the fuel injected by the fuel injector in the injectable area. The microprocessor is configured to perform the setting including setting the injection frequency between once and four times.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine control apparatus including a microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform controlling a fuel injector so as to inject a fuel of a target injection amount by dividing into a plurality of times at a predetermined time interval in an area from a first crank angle at which an intake stroke is started to a second crank angle at which a compression stroke is ended, and setting the predetermined time interval. The microprocessor is configured to perform the setting including setting the predetermined time interval so that a spray length from a tip of the fuel injector to a tip of a spray of the fuel injected from the fuel injector becomes shorter than the spray length when the fuel of the target injection amount is injected at once in the area by a predetermined rate.
