Abstract: When a diesel engine is determined to be in a motoring state, a hysteresis zero angle H0 is determined (step S14). Subsequently, a gradient dn is calculated (step S16). The gradient dn is calculated based on data (?n, ?hn) of a deviation ?hn at a retardation side from the hysteresis zero angle H0 and at an advance side from a predetermined crank angle. Subsequently, the gradient dn and the hysteresis zero angle H0 are updated (step S18). When the diesel engine is determined to be in a non-motoring state, data (?n, Pn) of an actual in-cylinder pressure is corrected based on a newest correction coefficient ? and hysteresis zero angle H0 (step S22).

Abstract: In a control system that includes a pressure accumulating portion that supplies CNG to a fuel injection valve and a regulator that adjusts a pressure in the pressure accumulating portion to a set pressure and of which a valve element opens when CNG is supplied to the pressure accumulating portion and closes when supply of CNG to the pressure accumulating portion is shut off, a control parameter relating to a combustion state in an internal combustion engine is controlled on the basis of a length of a period during which an opening degree of the valve element reduces from a first predetermined opening degree to a second predetermined opening degree when the pressure in the pressure accumulating portion is adjusted to the set pressure by the regulator.
