Abstract
A rate of change in the combustion pressure in each of the cylinders is calculated based upon a result detected by a combustion pressure sensor provided for each of the cylinders. The air-to-fuel ratio is increased and/or the ignition timing is retarded for each of the cylinders so that a rate of change in the combustion pressure approaches a value corresponding to the combustion stability limit in each of the cylinders.
