Abstract: A valve open/close timing controller including a driving-side rotating body rotating about a rotating shaft core synchronously with a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine with a driven-side rotating body inside the driving-side rotating body and coaxially with the rotating shaft core that rotates integrally with a camshaft to open/close an intake valve of an internal combustion engine. A phase adjusting mechanism sets a relative rotation phase between the driving-side and driven-side and a phase controller performs a retard operation to shift the relative rotation phase to a most retarded phase by displacing the driven-side rotating body in a direction opposite to the driving-side rotating body, and, when rotational speed of the engine reaches a lower limit rotational speed during stopping of the engine, advances the relative rotation phase as the most retarded phase by displacing the driven-side rotating body in a same direction as the driving-side rotating body.

Abstract: The internal combustion engine includes: a plurality of cylinders each including a piston that reciprocally operates in association with rotation of a crankshaft, and an intake valve and an exhaust valve that open and close a combustion chamber; a starter motor that drives and rotates the crankshaft; and a valve opening-closing timing control mechanism that sets opening and closing timings of the exhaust valve by driving an electric actuator. If an environmental temperature detected by an environmental temperature sensor is less than 10 degrees below freezing, the control device controls the electric actuator such that the closing timing of the exhaust valve is made different from a top dead center of the piston, at a point in time when cranking is performed, and an initial combustion in one of the plurality of cylinders that is set to be the cylinder in which combustion is performed first is performed.

When the section determines a failure, the controller performs at least one of an intake air amount increase control in which an opening degree of a throttle valve is increased, an ignition timing advance angle control in which injection of fuel is performed at a timing earlier than a set timing and ignition is performed, and a multi-injection control in which the fuel is injected immediately before the ignition in addition to the fuel injection in an intake stroke.
