Abstract
A controller, a vehicle incorporating the controller, and a method for controlling operation of a direct injection internal combustion engine having a combustion chamber for performing a plurality of operating cycles. The controller is configured to receive a fuel cut signal indicative of a request to inhibit fuel injection into the combustion chamber and, in dependence on the fuel cut signal, control a fuel supply system to inhibit fuel injection into the combustion chamber to perform one or more fuel cut operating cycle. The controller determines a particulate loading of a particulate filter in an exhaust system. During the one or more fuel cut operating cycle, the controller is configured to control operation of an intake valve to control the introduction of intake gases into the combustion chamber in dependence on the determined particulate loading of the particulate filter.
