Abstract
In a non-EGR region that is a light load operating region, an EGR control valve () is opened at a predetermined infinitesimal opening degree M that corresponds to such infinitesimal EGR ratio as not to affect an ignition timing. With this control, since an EGR passage () is basically in a state in which the EGR passage () is filled with EGR gas, when an operating condition is changed from the non-EGR region to an EGR region and the EGR control valve () is opened so as to gain a target EGR ratio, a desired quantity of the EGR gas is introduced into an intake passage () substantially at the same time as the opening of the EGR control valve (). An actual EGR ratio can thus follow the target EGR ratio with a good response.
