INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CONTROL APPARATUS

摘要

In a control apparatus applied to an internal combustion engine (10) mounted in a hybrid vehicle (1) as a drive power source together with a MG (2), when a predetermined stopping condition is satisfied, a throttle valve (18) is fully closed and at least one of an intake valve (14) or an exhaust valve (15) is closed. When a predetermined starting condition is satisfied, the internal combustion engine (10) is started by cranking the internal combustion engine (10) with the MG (2). Upon satisfaction of the starting condition, the opening degree of the throttle valve (18) at the time of cranking the internal combustion engine (10) is controlled in accordance with the drive power required from the hybrid vehicle (1).
