FUEL INJECTION CONTROL DEVICE AND FUEL INJECTION CONTROL METHOD FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

An internal combustion engine includes a port injector that injects fuel into an intake port and a direct injection injector that injects fuel directly into a combustion chamber. When the internal combustion engine is in a low load condition while requiring fuel injection, a controller stops fuel injection through the port injector so that an entire required fuel injection amount is injected through the direct injection injector. As a result of this processing, the fuel pressure of the direct injection injector is reduced quickly in the low load condition.
