  • EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION CONTROL DEVICE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
    Publication number: 20130206118
    Abstract: In a predetermined exhaust gas recirculation (“EGR”) region, an exhaust gas recirculation control device performs control to recirculate a portion of exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine to a suction passage through an EGR passage in which an EGR valve is provided. If it is detected that a fuel cut recovery condition is satisfied after a fuel cut condition is satisfied, the EGR valve is closed from when the fuel cut recovery condition is satisfied until fuel gas is detected in an exhaust gas passage that leads from a combustion chamber to an inlet of the EGR passage.
