1. A fuel injection system for four-cylinder engines having an air intake passage consisting of a collective passage, the downstream end of the collective passage forming a first branch-off part;

  • a pair of branch passages, the upstream ends of said pair of branch passages connected to said first branch-off part and the downstream ends of said pair of branch passages forming a pair of second branch-off parts; and

    two pairs of second branch passages, each pair of second branch passages extending from a respective second branch-off part, each second branch passage connected to a respective cylinder, the cylinders connected to a respective pair of second branch passages having intake strokes adjacent to each other;

    said system comprising;

    a fuel injection valve provided in said collective passage;

    an intake air flow detecting means for detecting the amount of intake air flow into said cylinders and generating a signal representative thereof;

    a standard signal generating means for generating standard signals synchronized with rotation of the engine;

    a fuel injection pulse control means, which receives signals from said intake air flow detecting means and said standard signal generating means, for forwarding to said fuel injection valve fuel injection pulses of a pulse duration proportional to said intake air flow to said cylinders in the intake stroke thereof at a predetermined timing determined by said standard signals; and

    and an injection timing correction means for correcting said predetermined timing for one cylinder of each pair of cylinders connected to the same second branch-off part when said intake air flow is lower than a predetermined value and correcting said predetermined timing of the other cylinder of each pair of cylinders connected to the same second branch-off part when said intake air flow is higher than said predetermined value, the intake stroke of said one cylinder of each pair of cylinders being preceded by that of a cylinder of the other pair of cylinders.
