  • Publication number: 20240011446
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine uses hydrogen as fuel. The internal combustion engine includes a coupling passage that connects a crankcase and a surge tank to each other. A controller executes a control of causing an air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture to be lower when a target output of the internal combustion engine is relatively high than when the target output is relatively low. The controller executes a pressure reduction process of reducing a pressure in an intake passage when the target output is less than a specific value. The pressure reduction process is a process of reducing the pressure in the intake passage to be lower than that before the execution of the pressure reduction process.
