What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating an internal combustion engine having a combustion chamber with a piston, comprising: inducting at least air and fuel vapors from a fuel vapor system; and adjusting an operating condition of the engine so that a mixture of air and fuel in the combustion chamber, including said fuel vapor, approaches, but does not achieve, an autoignition temperature; and performing a spark from the spark plug so that said mixture substantially auto-ignites. 2. The method of claim 1, where the operating condition includes temperature. 3. The method of claim 1, where the operating condition includes the ratio of two intake airstreams that flow through or by-pass the heat exchangers, which are designed for heat transfer between the intake air and the coolant, exhaust gases, or other thermal energy sources. 4. The method of claim 1, where the operating condition includes valve timing. 5. The method of claim 1, where the operating condition includes exhaust gas recirculation. 6. The method of claim 1, where the operating condition includes the spark timing. 7. The method of claim 1, where the operating condition includes a supercharger condition. 8. The method of claim 1, where the operating condition includes a turbocharger condition. 9. The method of claim 1, where the operating condition includes compression ratio. 10. The method of claim 1, where said performing of said spark from the spark plug occurs after top dead center of the piston position. 11. The method of claim 1, where combustion timing is varied during as engine load varies. 12. The method of claim 1, where the spark timing is varied as engine load varies. 13. The method of claim 1, where an amount by which said temperature approach said auto-ignition temperature varies with an amount of fuel vapors. 14. The method of claim 1 wherein said operation is performed in response to a request to purge fuel vapors. 15. The method of claim 1 wherein said operation is performed in response to a request to purge fuel vapors, where the engine transitions from operation without spark ignition to said operation in response to said request. 16. A method of operating an internal combustion engine having a combustion chamber with a piston, comprising: during a first mode, adjusting a temperature of a first homogenous air and fuel mixture of the engine so that said first mixture in the combustion chamber attains an autoignition temperature and combusts without requiring a spark from the spark plug; and during a second mode, adjusting a temperature of a second air and fuel mixture of the engine so that said second mixture of air and fuel in the combustion chamber approaches, but does not achieve, said autoignition temperature; and performing a spark from the spark plug after top dead center of piston position so that said second mixture combusts, wherein fuel vapors from a fuel tank system are inducted into the engine during said second mode. 17. The method of claim 16 where said second mode is performed when fuel vapor purging is requested during said first mode. 18. The method of claim 16 wherein during said second mode, said temperature of said second air and fuel mixture is adjusted to be further from said autoignition temperature as engine load increases. 19. The method of claim 16 wherein during said second mode, said temperature of said second air and fuel mixture is adjusted to be further from said autoignition temperature as an amount of fuel vapors changes. 20. A system, comprising: an engine having a cylinder therein; a fuel injector coupled to said cylinder and configured to directly inject fuel into said cylinder; a fuel system coupled to said injector; an air intake manifold coupled to said cylinder; a fuel purge valve coupled to said intake manifold; a spark plug coupled to said cylinder; and a controller configured to control engine cylinder charge temperature so that a mixture of air and fuel in the combustion chamber, including fuel vapor, approaches, but does not achieve, an autoignition temperature; said controller further configured to perform a spark from said spark plug so that said mixture substantially auto-ignites, wherein during said fuel purging, said operating temperature is adjusted to retard autoignition of fuel, where fuel from said fuel injection is mixed with intake air and inducted fuel vapors.
