ABSTRACT:
An ignition timing control system for internal combustion engines, which is capable of preventing occurrence of variation in engine speed and vibrations which can be caused due to variation in combustion state between the cylinders, to thereby improve drivability. The ECU 2 of the ignition timing control system 1 calculates a statistically processed value Pmi_ls#i according to the in-cylinder pressure Pcyl#i, and calculates an averaging target value Piav_cmd by weighted averaging of a minimum value Pmi_ls_min1 and a second minimum value Pmi_ls_min2 within a predetermined range of the statistically processed value. The ECU 2 calculates a correction value DIGCMP#i by performing a limiting process for setting the optimization correction value DIGOP#i for control of the ignition timing to a limit value on the advanced side, on the averaging correction value DIGPIAV#i for causing the statistically processed values Pmi_ls#i to follow the averaging target value Piav_cmd, such that the statistically processed values Pmi_ls#i becomes maximum. The ignition timing IGLOG#i is calculated for each cylinder based on the correction value DIGCMP#i.
