PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To activate a catalyst early by raising the exhaust temperature from immediately after starting while suppressing the level of vibration and deterioration of NOx to the minimum. SOLUTION: In a first period during cranking, when an air pump cannot be operated, in a second period (Tbth) until the battery voltage is stable after cranking when the air pump cannot be operated, and in a third period (Tpth) until a discharge amount is stable after the air pump starts to operate, fuel cut or ignition cut is performed in a part of cylinders, and instead of secondary air, air or raw gas from a combustion chamber of the cylinders is discharged to an exhaust air passage. After that, all cylinders are switched to operate and the exhaust temperature is raised with the secondary air from the air pump. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
