ABSTRACT:
A valve timing control device for an internal combustion engine comprises a variable valve timing mechanism capable of varying a valve overlap period. Fuel injection can be stopped in at least one predetermined engine operating condition and an optimal value of the valve overlap period in the current engine operating condition can be determined, on the basis of current engine speed, load, and temperature. The variable valve timing mechanism can be controlled such that the valve overlap period becomes larger than the optimal value when fuel injection is stopped. Accordingly, in the idle condition when the engine has not warmed up, intake air is heated sufficiently, by the valve overlap period, to more than the optimal value and an engine stall at this time is completely prevented by increasing the amount of intake air.
