  • Patent number: 10358988
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a first intake valve, a second intake valve, an accelerator open degree sensor that detects a load state, and an ECU 26 that controls the valve opening timing of the first and second intake valves and an amount of intake gas introduced to a combustion chamber from the first and second intake valves. When a load of a vehicle increases, the ECU reduces the ratio of the amount of intake gas from, among the two or more intake valves, the second intake valve having a later valve opening timing, whereas when the load decreases, the ECU increases the ratio.
