Control system for engine

Abstract

The engine control system has an ECU that supplies relatively large amount of EGR gas and delays an injection timing in order to decrease temperature in a combustion chamber. When an engine is operated under a warming up operation or a low engine load, the ECU deactivates an EGR cooler to increase intake air temperature in order to stabilize engine operation. When the engine is operated under a high engine load, the ECU activates the EGR cooler, delays a closing timing of an intake valve, and increases a boost pressure of a forced induction system. As a result, both of a compression end temperature and a maximum combustion temperature are decreased so that emissions of NOx and particulates are reduced.
