<p>A knock control system for the internal combustion engine is disclosed in which a knock intensity value V is detected from a signal produced by a knock sensor (10), a cumulative percentage point VP of distribution of a substantially logarithmic conversion value of the knock intensity value V is detected, a value S corresponding to the standard deviation of the substantially logarithmic conversion value is detected, and a knock decision level VKD is prepared on the basis of VP and S, thereby controlling knock control factors such as ignition timing and air-fuel ratio. The control system further comprises a device for deciding whether a predetermined period has passed after the engine enters specified operating conditions, a device for averaging knock intensity values, and an update quantity setting device for increasing the unit quantity of updating the averaging device and/or the cumulative percentage point detection device only while the predetermined period has not passed.</p> |
