Abstract
In a control device for an internal combustion engine includes an intake valve, a variable valve mechanism capable of controlling a closing timing and an operating angle of the intake valve continuously and variably, a detection unit for detecting a possibility of pre-ignition, and a throttle for controlling an intake air amount such that when the possibility of pre-ignition is detected, the intake valve closing timing is retarded from bottom dead center by increasing the intake valve operating angle, the control device includes, an operating angle upper limit limiting value calculation unit that calculates an operating angle upper limit limiting value for limiting an upper limit value of the intake valve operating angle, and a throttle opening upper limit limiting value calculation unit that calculates a throttle opening upper limit limiting value for limiting an upper limit value of a throttle opening on the basis of the intake valve operating angle.
