Abstract
A control method for an internal combustion engine is arranged to vary an engine compression ratio, and includes a control mechanism arranged to control the engine compression ratio, and a driving source arranged to drive the control mechanism. The control method includes converting an operation amount of the driving source in accordance with an attenuation rate according to the engine compression ratio, transmitting the converted operation amount to the control mechanism, and controlling the cylinder pressure based on a basic ignition timing when the attenuation rate is relatively large, and controlling the cylinder pressure based on an allowable ignition timing retarded from the basic ignition timing when the attenuation rate is relatively small.
