Abstract
A control device for an internal combustion engine comprises a fuel injector provided for each cylinder, an ignition plug starting ignition in each cylinder simultaneously with a start of the engine cranking, and a detection unit for detecting combustion in each cylinder when the engine is started which determines that the fuel injector of a cylinder in which ignition is carried out before fuel injection has a fuel leak when combustion is detected in the cylinder.
