ABSTRACT:
A method of operating an internal combustion engine is provided, which includes the step of operating the engine with a mixed mode fuel injector in at least one of a homogeneous charge mode and a conventional mode. The method also includes the step of selectively operating the engine in the conventional mode upon the occurrence of a predetermined homogeneous charge mode failure. An internal combustion engine is provided, having an electronic controller with software logic for selectively operating the engine in the conventional mode, upon the occurrence of a predetermined homogeneous charge mode failure.
