Abstract
An apparatus for controlling an internal combustion engine equipped with a variable valve timing control device includes the variable valve timing control device for restricting a relative rotation between a crankshaft and an exhaust camshaft at a starting of the internal combustion engine at a most advanced angle phase or at an intermediate angle phase between the most advanced angle phase and a most retarded angle phase. An apparatus for controlling an internal combustion engine equipped with a variable valve timing control device further includes a throttle valve control means for controlling an opening of the throttle valve provided at an intake passage of the internal combustion engine. The throttle valve control means controls the throttle valve to be opened when the internal combustion engine is started, thereby to restrict the relative rotation between the crankshaft and the exhaust camshaft.
