Abstract
An in-cylinder pressure sensor detecting in-cylinder pressure is provided. A first crank angle and a second crank angle in the adiabatic compression stroke are set using an in-cylinder-pressure-maximum crank angle as a baseline, and an absolute pressure correction value is calculated using the in-cylinder pressure and in-cylinder volume at each of these crank angles. A crank angle advanced from the in-cylinder-pressure-maximum crank angle is set as the second crank angle in a manner so as to be a timing in the adiabatic compression stroke on the retard side with respect to the spark timing, and is used for the absolute pressure correction.
