Abstract: A preparation control for suppressing fluctuation of an output torque of the engine at the time of executing switching operation from the whole cylinder operation to the partial cylinder operation is executed when having made a switching request from the whole cylinder operation to the partial cylinder operation. The target switching time executing the switching operation is calculated in accordance with the valve operation phase after the preparation time is completed. The cylinder deactivation mechanism is controlled such that the switching operation is executed at the target switching time. The target switching time is set in accordance with the valve operation phase at the timing in which the abnormal noises are not generated.

Abstract: A control device is provided capable of reliably preventing occurrence of a surging state by judging a possibility of the surging state in a relatively easy manner and promptly executing a surging state avoidance control. When a supercharging pressure decreasing state in which a target supercharging pressure decreases is detected, an operating speed of a wastegate valve is determined based on a detected engine rotational speed. That is, by lowering the operating speed as the engine rotational speed lowers, reduction in flow rate of the air passing through a compressor is prevented, and the occurrence of the surging state is reliably prevented. By lowering the operating speed instead of changing a target opening degree of the wastegate valve, a maximum opening degree of the wastegate valve can be suppressed, and responsiveness in the case where an acceleration request is made immediately after deceleration of an engine can be improved.
