ABSTRACT:
A controller supplies a predetermined constant current as a drive current to an electromagnetic actuator in response to detection of a non-normal state including an abnormal signal system and an abnormal engine start state, and a force that keeps an intake valve of an engine is appropriately controlled with this drive current. As a result, engine start characteristics are improved and an engine operation is maintained even when the signal system is abnormal.
