Abstract
A misfire detecting device of an internal combustion engine comprises a pressure detector(s) for detecting an inner cylinder pressure of the engine, a crank angle detector for detecting a crank angle, and a misfire detector for detecting a misfire based on signals from the pressure detector and the crank angle detector. The misfire detector judges that the engine is under a misfire, when a comparison is made between a first integrated value of an indicated inner cylinder pressure before a predetermined crank angle of a combustion cycle of the engine and a second integrated value of the indicated inner cylinder pressure after the predetermined crank angle, and when there is a difference between the first value and the second value by less than a predetermined value.
