Abstract
An engine control device comprises: crank angle sensor provided for the cylinders of an engine; cylinder internal pressure sensor for detecting the internal pressures of the cylinders according to the output signals of the crank angle sensor; pressure normalizing unit for normalizing the cylinder internal pressures thus detected, according to the cylinder internal pressure which is obtained when the engine is in standard state; engine speed detector; charge efficiency calculating unit for calculating the charge efficiencies of the cylinders by using the output signals of the pressure normalizing unit and the engine speed detector; operating condition detecting unit for detecting the outputs of the pressure normalizing unit and the engine speed detector as operating conditions, calculation control unit for calculating the air/fuel ratio and the ignition timing of each cylinder according to the operating conditions; and adjusting unit for adjusting the air/fuel ratios and ignition timing of the cylinders according to the output of the calculation control unit, thereby to control the air/fuel ratios and ignition timing of the cylinders with high accuracy.
