ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a control apparatus for an internal combustion engine which can make a determination on fuel property with high accuracy without causing a cost increase. The control apparatus for the internal combustion engine includes: an intake air amount control unit for controlling an intake air amount of the engine;an ignition timing control unit for controlling an ignition timing of the engine; a catalyst heat-up control unit for increasing the intake air amount after cold start of the engine and performing control for retarding the ignition timing; an air-fuel ratio detecting unit for detecting an air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas in the engine; and a fuel property determining unit for making a determination on fuel property through a comparison between a parameter value calculated from the air-fuel ratio and a preset reference value when the catalyst heat-up control unit performs the control for retarding the ignition timing.
