Abstract
An internal combustion engine () is provided with an in-cylinder pressure sensor () for detecting an in-cylinder pressure in a combustion chamber () and an ECU (). The ECUcalculates a heat release quantity parameter showing a combustion state based upon a detected in-cylinder pressure, calculates a combustion delay based upon the detected in-cylinder pressure, and determines fuel property based upon a comparison between a calculated heat release quantity parameter and the calculated combustion delay; and a heat release quantity parameter and a combustion delay corresponding to reference fuel.
