ABSTRACT:
A misfire-detecting system detects a misfire occurring in an internal combustion engine in such a manner that a value of discharge current is detected when sparking voltage is generated in response to an ignition command signal, the detected value of discharge current is compared with a predetermined current value, and it is determined that a misfire has occurred when a time period over which the detected discharge current value after generation of the ignition command signal is above the predetermined current value is shorter than a predetermined time period.
