A determination is made as to whether or not knocking is actually occurring inside a combustion chamber (5), and on the basis of the knocking detection result, a knocking-correlated parameter (octane number, alcohol concentration, compression ratio of the engine), which is a parameter having a correlation with knocking, is estimated. A knocking occurrence timing in the combustion chamber (5) is then predicted on the basis of the estimated knocking-correlated parameter. A knocking limit ignition timing, which is the ignition timing furthest toward the advanced side at which knocking does not occur, is calculated on the basis of the predicted knocking occurrence timing, and an ignition device (11) is controlled to perform spark ignition at the knocking limit ignition timing. |
