A wall surface 27 of the intake passage 26 is used also as a wall surface of a surge tank 28. An opening 27A is formed in the wall surface 27. A shut-off valve 30 is disposed in the opening 27A for making a length of the intake passage variable. Adsorption material 31 is provided on both sides of the shut-off valve 30 for adsorbing HC. The shut-off valve 30 is operated for open during stop of the internal combustion engine. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
