The control device for an internal combustion engine disclosed in the present application is a control device that determines the presence or absence of misfire based on an angle detection cycle calculated from an output signal of an angle sensor, the control device includes an arithmetic processing device and a storage device, the control device is configured so that the storage device stores the angle detection cycle calculated in a misfire detection threshold value comparison section after the reference angle section as a threshold value comparison target cycle and is configured such that the arithmetic processing device determines the presence or absence of misfire based on the misfire detection threshold value cycle calculated based on the reference detection cycle and the threshold value comparison target cycle, thereby it becomes possible to accurately determine the presence or absence of misfire in the control device for the internal combustion engine.

Control device for an internal combustion engine

To provide a controller for an internal combustion engine which can determine presence or absence of misfire with good accuracy, even when the rotational variation occurs due to factors other than misfire. A controller for an internal combustion engine calculates, as a reference detection period, the detection period detected within a reference angle interval including a top dead center; calculates a period deviation which is a deviation between the reference detection period and the each detection period; calculates a former period deviation integration value by integrating the period deviation in a former angle interval before the top dead center; calculates a later period deviation integration value by integrating the period deviation in a later angle interval after the top dead center; and determines presence or absence of misfire in the combustion stroke based on the former period deviation integration value and the later period deviation integration value.
