CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE INCORPORATING THE SAME

摘要

During the stop of combustion of the internal combustion engine (YES in step S100), if deposit accumulation inside the internal combustion engine is large (YES in step S110), the VVT mechanism sets the overlap state in which both the intake valve and the exhaust valve attain an open state (step S130) during the air introduction period set in accordance with the degree of deposit accumulation (step S120). In this manner, the air is introduced into the internal combustion engine, and the accumulated deposits are subjected to drying and weathering, so that the deposit removal effect is increased.
