Abstract
Abstract A drive system composed of an engine and a transmission is controlled in accordance with a desired wheel toque corresponding to a position of an accelerator, and a present vehicle speed in such a way that a speed ratio of the transmission is determined in consideration with torque factors such as an air-fuel ratio on the engine side, thereby it possible to optimize the control in order to reduce the emission of exhaust substance such as NOx and to enhance the acceleration performance and the fuel economy.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A method of controlling an internal combustion engine, comprising the step of controlling a volume of fuel injected from a fuel injection device incorporating an injection port in a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, fuel injection timing, and opening and closing timing of an intake valve for controlling a volume of air to be burnt within said combustion chamber so that said intake valve is opened at a time of initiating suction stroke, and is closed at a time of initiating a compression stroke, wherein said intake valve is opened substantially at a middle of the suction stroke and is closed substantially at a middle of the compression stroke when an engine load is lower than a predetermined value.
