A method for a hydrogen fueled internal combustion engine to reduce backfiring, pre-ignition, and/or backflash, the engine also including a combustion chamber, an intake manifold, an exhaust manifold, at least one intake valve, at least one exhaust valve, a hydrogen injector, a compression device, and a variable valve timing system coupled to the intake valves. The method comprises compressing air using the compression device; injecting hydrogen and mixing at least said hydrogen with air discharged from the compression device; and opening the intake valve to induct at least air into the combustion chamber, wherein the intake valve opening time varies with an operating condition.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for operating a hydrogen fueled internal combustion engine, the engine also including a combustion chamber, an intake manifold, an exhaust manifold, at least one intake valve, at least one exhaust valve, a hydrogen injector, and a compression device, the method comprising: compressing air using the compression device; injecting hydrogen and mixing at least said hydrogen with air discharged from the compression device; and opening the intake valve to induct at least air into the combustion chamber, wherein the intake valve opening time varies with an operating condition. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the operating condition is one of temperature, speed, and load of the engine. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the compression device is one of a supercharger and a turbocharger. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the engine further comprises one of the intercooler and aftercooler to reduce temperature of the compressed air. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein hydrogen is injected into the intake manifold. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein hydrogen is injected directly into the combustion chamber. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein hydrogen injection occurs before the intake valve opens. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the hydrogen injection occurs after the intake valve opens. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the intake valve opening time is more retarded relative to top dead center when the operating conditions indicate an increased tendency of backfiring, pre-ignition, and/or backflash. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the intake valve opening time is less retarded relative to the top dead center when the operating conditions indicate a decreased tendency of backfiring, pre-ignition, and/or backflash. 11. A method for operating a hydrogen fueled internal combustion engine, the engine also including a combustion chamber, an intake manifold, an exhaust manifold, at least one intake valve, at least one exhaust valve, a hydrogen injector, and a compression device, the method comprising: compressing air using the compression device; injecting hydrogen and mixing at least said hydrogen with air discharged from the compression device; and opening the intake valve to induct at least air into the combustion chamber wherein the intake valve opening time varies with a first operating condition to reduce the tendency of backfiring, pre-ignition, and/or backflash; and varying the exhaust valve closing time with a second operating condition. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the first and second operating conditions are one or more of air temperature, engine temperature, engine speed, and engine load. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein hydrogen is injected into the intake manifold. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein hydrogen is injected directly into the combustion chamber. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the hydrogen injection occurs before the intake valve opens. 16. The method of claim 11, wherein the hydrogen injection occurs after the intake valve opens. 17. The method of claim 11 wherein the intake valve opening time is more retarded relative to piston top dead center when the operating first condition results in an increased tendency of backfiring, pre-ignition, and/or backflash, and the intake valve opening is less retarded relative to piston top dead center when the operating first condition results in a decreased tendency of backfiring, pre-ignition, and/or backflash. 18. The method of claim 11, wherein the exhaust valve closing time is advanced with respect to piston top dead center when the engine speed is lower, and the exhaust valve closing time is retarded with respect to piston top dead center when the engine speed is higher. 19. A system for a hydrogen fueled engine, comprising: a combustion chamber; a hydrogen injector; a compression device; a controller to vary an intake valve opening timing and an exhaust valve closing timing with an operating condition to reduce backfiring, pre-ignition, and/or backflash. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the operating condition is one or more of air temperature, engine temperature, engine speed, and engine load. 21. The system of claim 19, wherein the controller varies the intake valve opening timing so that it Is more retarded relative to piston top dead center when the operating conditions result in an increased tendency of backfiring, pre-ignition, and/or backflash, and varies the intake valve opening so that it is less retarded relative to piston top dead center when the operating conditions result in a decreased tendency of backfiring, pre-ignition, and/or backflash.
