Abstract
In a variable intake apparatus for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine, each cylinder is allowed to communicate with each other through air intake passageways including at least a pair of air intake passageway portions. Further, an air intake control valve integrally provided with a pair of valve bodies is disposed at an opening which is formed at a partition wall. The partition wall is formed between the intake air collecting chamber and the air intake passageway. Further more, the air intake control valve is actuated according to engine speeds of the internal combustion engine such that the air intake passageway portion is opened and closed by one of the valve bodies whereas the opening in the partition wall is opened and closed by the other of the valve bodies.
