Abstract: The present invention provides a control apparatus for controlling an internal combustion engine that enables preferable acceleration in response to the running status of the internal combustion engine. When a computer which computes the fuel supply of the internal combustion engine at each engine cycle according to engine parameters detects a change in the throttle opening level of the internal combustion engine from a low opening level which is lower than a predetermined opening level to a non-low opening level which is higher than the predetermined level and when the computer detects that a variation &Dgr;&thgr;TH in the opening level of a throttle is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the computer generates different increment correction values and corrects fuel supply according to the increment correction values.

Abstract: Optimum control is performed in one cylinder of an internal combustion engine. By determining a desirable control operation stage for each cylinder in advance on the basis of engine parameters. Control operation is executed at the timing where the operation stage for each cylinder reaches the determined control operation stage.
