Abstract
Disclosed is a device for promoting the purification of exhaust gas in an internal combustion engine at the time of warm-up. The opening degree of the throttle valve of the carburetor is temporarily maintained open at about 20 degrees immediately after the engine is started. After this, the throttle valve is closed stepwise to its idling position as the temperature of the engine is increased. When the gear shift of the transmission is shifted from neutral to, for example, low gear, for driving a vehicle in the case wherein the opening degree of the throttle valve is being held open at about 20 degrees, the throttle valve is automatically closed to an opening degree which is smaller than 20 degrees.
