Zusammenfassung:A variable valve mechanism ( 12 a , 12 b) varies a lift amount and an opening/closing timing of an intake valve ( 10 ) of an internal combustion engine ( 1 ). During a first period in an engine start operation, wall flow is suppressed by setting the lift amount of the intake valve ( 10 ) to be smaller so as to increase the intake air velocity. During a second period, which starts after the first period ends, the atomization of injected fuel is enhanced by increasing a valve overlap amount between the intake valve ( 10 ) and an exhaust valve ( 11 ) so as to promote blow-back of the combustion gas to an intake port ( 4 ). By sequentially applying a process for increasing the intake air velocity and a process for increasing the valve overlap amount, the emission of unburned hydrocarbon during the engine start is effectively reduced.
