Abstract
In a control device of an internal combustion engine, an atmospheric pressure estimation portion includes an effective opening area calculation portion calculating an effective opening area corresponding to a throttle opening, a throttle opening learning value calculation portion calculating a learning value in a relation of the effective opening area and the throttle opening, an error variation calculation portion calculating an error variation from an error from the corrected learning value, a variation range determination portion determining whether the error variation is within a predetermined range, an atmospheric pressure estimated value update portion updating an atmospheric pressure estimated value, and a target throttle opening calculation portion calculating a target throttle opening using the updated atmospheric pressure estimated value. The throttle opening is controlled to be the target throttle opening. An exact atmospheric pressure can be thus estimated even in the presence of a variation in throttle machine difference.
