Abstract:
A control device for a vehicle provided with an engine and a continuously variable transmission, comprising:first control means for carrying out fuel injection in an intake stroke of the engine so as to evenly distribute mixture gas into a combustion chamber of the engine; second control means for carrying out fuel injection in a compression stroke of the engine so as to bias mixture gas toward a zone close to an ignition plug of the engine; transient surge damping control means for damping longitudinal oscillation of the vehicle by controlling at least one of the engine and the continuously variable transmission; and selection means for selecting one of control through the first control means and control through the second control means in accordance with a loaded condition of the engine, and for prohibiting a transition from the second control to the first control if the transient surge damping control is being performed when a loaded condition of the engine becomes suited for a transition to the first control during performance of the second control.
