Abstract

An internal combustion engine diagnostic device and an internal combustion engine diagnostic method identify an abnormal cylinder having an abnormal air-fuel ratio among a plurality of cylinders during the operation of an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine diagnostic device comprises: an air-fuel ratio control unit for changing the air-fuel ratio in a stepwise manner by controlling a fuel injection amount adjusting means that adjusts the fuel injection amount of each of the plurality of cylinders; and an abnormal cylinder identification unit for identifying an abnormal cylinder on the basis of the relationship between each air-fuel ratio changed in a stepwise manner and the number of misfires occurring in the plurality of cylinders, the number being counted by a misfire counter for each air-fuel ratio changed in a stepwise manner.
