Patent ID: 7793500

Claim:
A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine comprising: a supercharger which is disposed in an intake passage and provided with an electric motor that assists the rotation of the supercharger; a bypass passage which bypasses the downstream side of the supercharger to the upstream side of the supercharger in the intake passage; a bypass valve which opens and closes the bypass passage; an intake air flow sensor which is disposed upstream of the supercharger in the intake passage and outputs a signal indicative of the air flow inhaled into the intake passage; calculation means for calculating the air flow inhaled into the internal combustion engine based on an operational state of the electric motor, an operational state of the bypass valve, and the signal of the intake air flow sensor; and control parameter adjustment means for adjusting control parameters which concern output power of the internal combustion engine based on the air flow inhaled into the internal combustion engine.
