PURPOSE:To reduce generation of torque shocks by decreasing fuel supply to the cylinders, which shall be at a standstill, gradually down to a certain specified level, stopping then the fuel supply totally, and thereby sinking the torque of the cylinder to be stopped smoothly. CONSTITUTION:When the operating condition has become with low load. A cylinder reduction signal b is given to an injection amount correction circuit 13 and a shutter valve control circuit 18. Then the injection amount correction circuit 13 lessens a signal a from an injection amount operation circuit 12 gradually with a certain time constant, and the air-fuel ratio of the mixture inhaled into No.2, No.3 cylinders will becomes lean gradually to provide smaller torque. When the air-to-fuel ratio become as lean as near the critical point for misfire, No.2 injection valve drive circuit 15 will, with the aid of a misfire probability sensing circuit 17, stop emission of the injection pulse signals for fuel injection valves 4b, 4c. At the same time, the shutter valve control circuit 18 closes the intake manifolds 2b, 2c of No.2 and No.3 cyinders. |
