A control device for an internal combustion engine capable of performing ignition retardation control in which an ignition timing for igniting an air-fuel mixture in a combustion chamber is retarded from a normal operation. The device includes: an individual cylinder torque calculation unit that obtains a variation amount of combustion torque of each cylinder; an injection amount correction unit that corrects a fuel injection amount for each cylinder so as to reduce the variation amount of combustion torque of each cylinder obtained by the individual cylinder torque calculation unit; and a misfire determination unit that determines a misfire of a predetermined cylinder based on a combustion torque of the predetermined cylinder among the cylinders. When the combustion torque of any one of the cylinders is equal to or less than a predetermined torque, the injection amount correction unit does not correct the fuel injection amount for each cylinder.

Misfire detection device and method for internal combustion engine

Time required by a crankshaft to rotate 30&#xb0; CA from a compression top dead center is defined as time T. A CPU calculates a rotation fluctuation amount &#x394;Trelated to a cylinder subject to determination of a misfire by subtracting a value related to a cylinder in which a compression top dead center occurred immediately before the cylinder subject to the determination from a value related to the subject to the determination. The rotation fluctuation amount &#x394;Tthat corresponds to a cylinder in which a combustion operation is stopped is used as a reference value &#x394;Tref. When a combustion operation is performed, it is determined that there is a misfire if the absolute value of the difference between the rotation fluctuation amount &#x394;Tand the reference value &#x394;Tref is less than or equal to a determination value &#x394;th.

A misfire detection device executes a deactivating process that deactivates combustion control for air-fuel mixture in one or some of cylinders and a deactivating process that determines whether a misfire has occurred. The determining process determines whether a misfire has occurred by evaluating a magnitude of a rotation fluctuation amount using a determination value independent from the rotation fluctuation amount. The determining process includes a deactivation-related setting process that sets a different determination value for each of first and second cylinders when the deactivating process is executed. The deactivating process has not been executed in the first and second cylinders. The rotation fluctuation amount is a change amount of an instantaneous speed variable. The instantaneous speed variable indicates a speed in a case in which a crankshaft rotates in a rotation angle region that is less than or equal to an occurrence interval of a compression top dead center.

Cylinders adjacent to the deactivated cylinder include a determined cylinder subject to a determination of whether a misfire has occurred and a cylinder different from the determined cylinder. It is determined that a misfire has occurred in the determined cylinder on condition that a divergence degree between a value of a combustion variable of the cylinder different from the determined cylinder and adjacent to the deactivated cylinder and a value of a combustion variable of the determined cylinder is greater than or equal to a specific amount. Combustion control has been executed in the cylinders adjacent to the deactivated cylinder and the cylinder different from the determined cylinder and adjacent to the deactivated cylinder.

Control system for internal combustion engine and controlling method for internal combustion engine

An ECU for controlling an engine counts an unused time TIM of engine in a low-temperature environment. If the unused time TIM is shorter than a predetermined reference value, the ECU sets idle speed immediately after start of operation of the engine to a first idle speed, and if the unused time TIM is longer than the reference value, sets the idle speed to a second idle speed higher than the first idle speed. If duration of the second idle speed exceeds a reference period determined by state of driving of the vehicle, the ECU sets the idle speed to be lower than the second idle speed. In this manner, increased vibration in idling operation in a low-temperature environment can be prevented.
