Abstract

The sectional area of a bypass passage which is bypassing a throttle valve in an intake passage of an internal combustion engine is determined to a specific value during starting. The specific value is obtained by adding an increment value to a base value which corresponds to an optimum value of the sectional area in the stable idling condition.
