ABSTRACT:
A combustion state-determining system for an internal combustion engine has an ECU which determines a misfiring state of the engine, and calculates a misfiring rate of the engine, based on the result of the determination of the misfiring state. A catalyst temperature sensor detects the temperature of a catalytic converter as the exhaust system temperature, and the ECU determines the combustion state of the engine, based on the detected exhaust system temperature and the calculated misfiring rate. A combustion state control system restrains the output from the engine, based on the determination result of the combustion state-determining system.
