Method for controlling cylinder of internal combustion engine of vehicle, involves activating openings of cylinders, and updating desired cylinder activation- or deactivation patterns to possible cylinder activation- or deactivation pattern

摘要

The method involves activating and deactivating openings of inlet valve (122) and outlet valve (130) of two cylinders (118) to be activated and deactivated based on desired cylinder activation- or deactivation patterns. Fuel is conveyed to one of the cylinders. Multiple possible cylinder activation- or deactivation patterns are selectively compared with the desired cylinder activation- or deactivation patterns. The desired cylinder activation- or deactivation patterns are selectively updated to one of the possible cylinder activation- or deactivation patterns.
