Abstract:
A control device for an engine that generates a torque by burning an air-fuel mixture of air and fuel in a combustion chamber, wherein the engine is operated in a combustion mode selected from a first combustion mode and a second combustion mode, wherein the engine torque is adjusted by first adjusting means when the engine is operated in the first combustion mode and the engine torque is adjusted by second adjusting means, different from the first adjusting means, when the engine is operated in the second combustion mode, wherein the control device comprises:computation means for computing a torque-reflected value reflecting an engine torque demanded when the engine is operated in the first combustion mode, based on a running state of the engine; first control means for controlling the first adjusting means based on the torque-reflected value when the engine is operated in the first combustion mode; and second control means for controlling the second adjusting means based on the torque-reflected value when the engine is operated in the second combustion mode.
