Fuel injection valve for intermittently injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, comprising a housing which comprises a high-pressure chamber, which is connected to a high-pressure inlet for fuel, and a low-pressure chamber, an injector needle that is longitudinally movable in the high-pressure chamber, interacts with a nozzle seat, and opens and closes a connection of the high-pressure chamber to an injection opening by the longitudinal movement thereof, wherein the injector needle is urged by a compression spring with a closing force directed towards the nozzle seat, and wherein the compression spring is supported at one side on a spring sleeve in which the injector needle is guided by its free end, a control chamber (38, 44) that is delimited by the spring sleeve and the upper end of the injector needle, and can be filled with pressurized fuel and thus exerts a closing pressure on the injector needle in a controlled manner, and a control valve that is arranged in the control chamber (38, 44) and divides the control chamber (38, 44) into a first control chamber and a second control chamber, wherein the control valve consists of a valve insert guided in a valve guide, and a discharge throttle is arranged in the valve guide, which throttle is connected to the first control chamber on one side and to the second control chamber on the other side, characterized in that the connection formed by the discharge throttle between the first control chamber and the second control chamber can be interrupted in case of a positive pressure of the second control chamber with respect to the first control chamber and in case of a negative pressure of the second control chamber is opened with respect to the first control chamber, a lower stop position of the valve insert connects the first control chamber to the high pressure chamber by means of an inlet bore arranged in the valve guide, an upper stop position of the valve insert closes the inlet from the high-pressure chamber, and an inlet throttle of the valve guide connects the high-pressure chamber to the second control chamber. a housing which comprises a high-pressure chamber, which is connected to a high-pressure inlet for fuel, and a low-pressure chamber, an injector needle that is longitudinally movable in the high-pressure chamber, interacts with a nozzle seat, and opens and closes a connection of the high-pressure chamber to an injection opening by the longitudinal movement thereof, wherein the injector needle is urged by a compression spring with a closing force directed towards the nozzle seat, and wherein the compression spring is supported at one side on a spring sleeve in which the injector needle is guided by its free end, a control chamber (38, 44) that is delimited by the spring sleeve and the upper end of the injector needle, and can be filled with pressurized fuel and thus exerts a closing pressure on the injector needle in a controlled manner, and a control valve that is arranged in the control chamber (38, 44) and divides the control chamber (38, 44) into a first control chamber and a second control chamber, wherein the control valve consists of a valve insert guided in a valve guide, and a discharge throttle is arranged in the valve guide, which throttle is connected to the first control chamber on one side and to the second control chamber on the other side, characterized in that the connection formed by the discharge throttle between the first control chamber and the second control chamber can be interrupted in case of a positive pressure of the second control chamber with respect to the first control chamber and in case of a negative pressure of the second control chamber is opened with respect to the first control chamber, a lower stop position of the valve insert connects the first control chamber to the high pressure chamber by means of an inlet bore arranged in the valve guide, an upper stop position of the valve insert closes the inlet from the high-pressure chamber, and an inlet throttle of the valve guide connects the high-pressure chamber to the second control chamber.
