Zusammenfassung:A direct injection engine includes a fuel injection valve configured to inject fuel into a cylinder, a water injection valve configured to inject water into the cylinder, and a valve variable mechanism configured to change an operation timing of each of an intake valve and an exhaust valve. During an operation in a low load range, a negative overlap period when both of the intake valve and the exhaust valve are closed across an exhaust top dead center is formed by the valve variable mechanism, and fuel is injected from the fuel injection valve and water is injected from the water injection valve respectively during the negative overlap period. This causes a steam reforming reaction such that at least a part of injected fuel and injected water turns to hydrogen and carbon monoxide within the cylinder during the negative overlap period.
