ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling valve performance of an internal combustion engine. The apparatus includes a first changing means for changing the valve performance of an intake valve. The first changing means is actuated by fluid pressure. A second changing means changes the valve performance of an exhaust valve. The second changing means is actuated by the fluid pressure. A fluid source is connected with the first changing means and the second changing means to supply fluid to the first changing means and the second changing means. An adjusting means adjusts the amount of the fluid supplied from the fluid source to the first changing means and the second changing means. A detecting means detects the running condition of the engine. A control means controls the adjusting means to change each valve performance so as to coincide the engine torque with the desired engine torque. The control means includes selecting means for selecting one of the valves based on the detected running condition of the engine. The selected valve is capable of coinciding the engine torque with the desired torque faster than the other one of valves to allow a larger amount of the fluid supplied to one of the changing means that is associated with the selected valve than the other one of the changing means.
