Abstract
A control device controls an internal combustion engine including: an EGR cooler bypass passage; and a flow-rate-ratio control valve capable of controlling, by adjustment of its opening degree, an EGR cooler ratio R. The control device is configured, during an EGR gas introduction operation, to execute an intake air temperature control for adjusting the opening degree such that an intake air temperature Tb approaches a target intake air temperature Tbt. In this intake air temperature control, the control device is configured, when a designated condition that, even if the adjustment of the opening degree is performed, there is a temperature difference obtained by subtracting the target intake air temperature Tbt from a value of the intake air temperature Tb to be achieved as a result of the adjustment of the opening degree is met, to execute an opening-degree update prohibition processing that prohibits an update of the opening degree.
