    Abstract: A variable valve timing and lift mechanism includes an actuator that adjusts the period in which an intake valve is held open by moving a drive element. When a control unit switches the duration, the control unit controls the actuator so that the duration is changed at a first speed when the duration is equal to a first value, and at a second speed when the duration is equal to a second value that is smaller than the first value. The absolute value of the second speed is smaller than the absolute value of the first speed. In effect, the actuator is controlled so that when the duration is in a short-duration range, the duration changes more slowly than when the duration is in a long-duration range.

    Abstract: A control device for a variable valve mechanism that avoids the overheating an actuator while reducing adverse effects on the driveability of a vehicle. The actuator adjusts the lift of an intake valve by moving a drive element, and a sensor is used to determine whether the actuator will overheat. A control unit stops the drive element if the lift adjusted by the actuator is equal to or larger than a first predetermined value, when the control unit determines that the actuator will overheat. The actuator may be an electric actuator. In this case, the actuator maintains the drive element in a fixed position when supply of electric power to the actuator is interrupted. The control unit stops the drive element, and interrupts the supply of electric power to the actuator.

    Abstract: A failure diagnosis for a slide sensor of a variable valve mechanism is performed when a valve working angle is at a value in the initial state. The initial state is set to a valve characteristic state where the valve working angle is at the maximum value. The maximum valve working angle corresponds to the refuge running performable region in which an engine can be started and refuge running can be performed. Therefore, even when it is difficult to adjust the valve working angle using rotation of a spiral cam due to a failure in the slide sensor, the refuge running can be performed only by maintaining the initial state by maintaining control. It is thus possible to increase reliability of the refuge running in the case where a failure has occurred in the variable valve mechanism.

    Abstract: An electronic control unit sets a target valve actuation parameter in accordance with an operating state of an internal combustion engine, and controls a variable valve actuation mechanism such that an actual valve actuation parameter of an intake valve becomes equal to the target valve actuation parameter. The variable valve actuation mechanism changes a valve actuation parameter of the intake valve. From before an initial fuel injection is performed to when a starting process of the engine is completed, the electronic control unit sets the target valve actuation parameter to an engine starting valve actuation parameter at which the valve closing timing of the intake valve coincides with or is close to a bottom dead center of the intake valve.
