ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine control system in which intake and exhaust valve deactivators are controlled in response to both engine throttle position and output speed in order to affect split engine operation. Voltages responsive to both throttle position and engine output speed are compared to generate a variable signal that controls the valve deactivators. Each deactivator includes a rotatable first cylindrical member axially fixed on an elongated engine support and also includes a second cylindrical member defining an enclosed cavity with the first member while positioned on the support between the engine and the first member. A helical spring of each deactivator encircles the cylindrical members thereof and has a first end axially fixed relative to the support and a second end that biases a rocker arm bearing toward the engine. Ports of the support and the first cylindrical member define inlet and exhaust passages to the cavity with the first cylindrical member in first and second rotational positions so as to allow the supply and exhaustion of pumped engine oil to the cavity in order to position the second cylindrical member and the bearing axially along the support so as to control valve operation. The deactivators associated with the intake and exhaust valves of selected cylinders are sequenced so that the intake valve ceases to operate prior to the cessation of the exhaust valve operation upon deactivation, and the exhaust valve begins to operate prior to the intake valve operation upon subsequent activation of the valves.
