ABSTRACT:
In a combustion control system of an engine employing an exhaust purifying device, a control unit determines, based on an operating condition of the exhaust purifying device, whether a request for an exhaust temperature rise is present. The control unit executes, by way of fuel injection control in presence of the request of the exhaust temperature rise, a split retard combustion mode in which a main combustion needed to produce a main engine torque and at least one preliminary combustion occurring prior to the main combustion are both achieved, and the preliminary combustion occurs near top dead center on a compression stroke, and the main combustion initiates after completion of the preliminary combustion. The control unit executes a fail-safe process that an injection timing of main fuel injection is phase-advanced, when a predicted temperature value of the exhaust purifying device exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
