ABSTRACT:
A catalyst for purifying exhaust gas is provided in an exhaust pipe of an engine. When air-fuel ratio dither control is performed, an ECU calculates a requested torque to be generated by combustion of the engine based on an accelerator opening angle or the like operated by a driver. An MBT estimated torque corresponding to MBT (Minimum advance for the Best Torque) in each case is calculated, and a spark timing retard limit estimated torque corresponding to a spark timing retard limit in each case is calculated. An air-fuel ratio amplitude amount in the air-fuel ratio dither control is calculated based on the calculated requested torque, the MBT estimated torque, and the spark timing retard limit estimated torque. An early activation of a catalyst is realized.
