Abstract
An engine-control system is structured in such a way that a timing for closing the intake valve is retarded and the air-fuel ratio is so set as to become a rich air-fuel ratio richer than, for example, the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, in a region where the load is low. On the other hand, in a region where the load is high, the timing for closing the intake valve is set earlier and the air-fuel ratio is so set as to become a lean air-fuel ratio leaner than, for example, the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
