Abstract

A system and a method for controlling valve timing of a continuous variable valve duration engine including classifying control regions depending on engine speed and load; applying a maximum duration to an intake valve and a long duration to an exhaust valve and limiting an overlap; applying the maximum duration to the intake valve and the long duration to the exhaust valve, and adjusting the overlap according to the engine load; applying the long duration to the exhaust valve, fixing an exhaust valve open timing and an exhaust valve close timing, and advancing an intake valve close timing according to an increase of engine load; controlling a wide open throttle valve and applying a short duration to the exhaust valve; and controlling a wide open throttle valve, applying the long duration to the exhaust valve, delaying the intake valve close timing according to an increased engine speed.
