Abstract

When the starting timing of a negative valve overlapping (NVO) period exists at the delayed-angle side of the starting timing of a first NVO period, fuel injection into a cylinder is not started; when the starting timing of an NVO period exists between the starting timing of the first NVO period and the starting timing of the second NVO period, fuel injection into the cylinder is started at a given timing that includes the exhaust top dead center; when the starting timing of an NVO period exists between the starting timing of the second NVO period and the starting timing of the third NVO period, fuel injection into the cylinder is started at a given timing that does not include the exhaust top dead center, and that exists at both the advanced-angle and delayed-angle sides of the exhaust top dead center.
