Patent ID: 8838368

Claim:
A device for controlling stopping of an internal combustion engine, including a throttle valve that controls an intake air amount of the internal combustion engine, an actuator that drives the throttle valve, a revolving speed sensor that detects a revolving speed of the internal combustion engine, and an electronic control unit that controls the internal combustion engine, the electronic control unit being configured to: stop control of fuel injection valves with a command for stopping the internal combustion engine; continue ignition control of ignition plugs after the control of the fuel injection valves is stopped; transmit signals to the actuator for opening the throttle valve to control a stopping position of a piston after the command for stopping the engine is transmitted and when the revolving speed of the internal combustion engine becomes lower than a predetermined revolving speed; stop ignition of an ignition plug when the throttle valve is opened to control the piston stopping position, wherein the electronic control unit is further configured to: perform a first correction of ignition timing by feedback control such that the revolving speed of the internal combustion engine becomes a target revolving speed; and perform a second correction of ignition timing according to a pressure in an intake pipe, and wherein the ignition is stopped in response to the ignition timing being retarded by the second correction due to an increase of the pressure in the intake pipe resulted from the throttle valve being opened to control a piston stopping position, after the ignition timing is advanced by the first correction.
