Abstract: A control device has a VVT (variable valve timing) mechanism which changes opening or closing timing of at least one of an intake valve and an exhaust valve, and includes: a processor; a sensor for detecting atmospheric pressure; and a sensor for detecting the amount of air flowing through an intake air flow path. The processor calculates a charging efficiency based on the detected amount of air, calculates a volumetric efficiency from the detected amount of air and the detected atmospheric pressure, calculates the charging efficiency valve opening timing of the intake valve based on the charging efficiency, calculates the volumetric efficiency valve opening timing of the intake valve based on the volumetric efficiency, and sets the valve opening timing(s) of at least one of the intake valve and the exhaust valve based on one of the charging efficiency valve opening timing and the volumetric efficiency valve opening timing.

Abstract: A fuel injection control apparatus switches between MPI and DI+MPI modes. The apparatus includes a unit calculating a DI direct combustion rate that is the rate of that portion of the amount of DI injection corresponding to a fuel combusted instead of adhering to inside of the cylinder, and a unit calculating a cylinder vaporization rate that is the rate of the amount of that portion of the fuel adhering to the inside of the cylinder which vaporizes. The former unit controls fuel injection based at least on the DI direct combustion rate and the cylinder vaporization rate. When the mode is switched between the MPI mode and the DI+MPI mode, the former unit corrects the DI direct combustion rate or the cylinder vaporization rate to set the amount of fuel injection to a value different from that set when the fuel injection modes are maintained.
