Abstract:
A PCM ( 100 ) selects one of a CI mode or an SI mode based on the operating conditions of the engine ( 1 ). In the CI mode, the engine ( 1 ) is operated by compression ignition combustion. In the SI mode, the engine ( 1 ) is operated by spark ignition combustion. if, while the engine ( 1 ) is being operated in the CI mode, a determination is made that an estimated value (Tc) of the catalyst temperature is lower than or equal to a warming start temperature (Ts), the PCM ( 100 ) further performs first warming control to assign four cylinders ( 18 ) as CI and SI cylinders, which perform the compression ignition combustion and the spark ignition combustion, respectively, such that the four cylinders ( 18 ) alternately perform the compression ignition combustion and the spark ignition combustion in accordance with the order of combustion of the cylinders.

Claim (Index 4):
The engine control device of  claim 2 , further comprising:\n inlets which communicate with the cylinders, respectively, and through each of which air is sucked from an intake passage common to the cylinders into an associated one of the cylinders; intake valves each capable of opening and closing an associated one of the inlets; a throttle valve provided in the intake passage to adjust a flow rate of gas to be supplied into the cylinders; and intake valve drive mechanisms configured to individually control opening times of the intake valves on a cylinder-by-cylinder basis, wherein under the warming control, the controller fully opens the throttle valve, and controls the intake valves of the cylinders via the intake valve drive mechanisms to allow an amount of air to be sucked into the SI cylinder to be lower than an amount of air to be sucked into the CI cylinder.
