Abstract
An intake throttle valve is located in an intake passage upstream of first and second intake ports, such that intake air flows into mainly the first intake port to generate a swirl flow when an opening degree of the intake throttle valve is not larger than a predetermined value, and flows into both the first and second intake ports when the opening degree thereof is larger than the predetermined value. Furthermore, first and second fuel injection valves for respectively injecting fuel to the first and second intake ports are controlled to inject fuel from the first fuel injection valve when the opening degree of the intake throttle valve is not larger than about the predetermined value, and to inject fuel from both the first fuel injection valve and the second fuel injection valve when the opening degree of the intake throttle valve is larger than about the predetermined value.
