Abstract

The method and apparatus are for continuously controlling a quantity of air drawn into an internal combustion engine by varying operating characteristics of an intake valve. A control unit uses a valve lift included in a range wherein the quantity of air is determined only by a valve lift and a working angle of the intake valve in a very low load operating range containing during idling. In contrast, in operating ranges, except the very low load operating range, the control unit uses a valve lift included in a range wherein the quantity of air is determined by the valve lift and the working angle of the intake valve, and a phase of a central angle of the working angle of the intake valve.
