Abstract

An internal combustion engine comprising three intake valves. The first intake valve and the second intake valve open at a crank angle near to the top dead center of the intake stroke. The third intake valve opens approximately at the center of the intake stroke. An air control valve is arranged in the second intake passage connected to the combustion chamber via the second intake valve. The air control valve is closed when the engine is operating under a partial load. A fuel injector is arranged in the third intake passage connected to the combustion chamber via the third intake valve. The injecting operation of the fuel injector is stopped during the intake stroke.
