PURPOSE:To eliminate trouble caused by the generation of a misfire fire, by providing an engine output shaft angular velocity detection means and an operation means for operating cylinder internal pressure on the basis of the detection signal from the aforementioned detection means to a multicylinder engine. CONSTITUTION:An engine output shaft angular velocity detection means 44 for detecting the angular velocity of an engine output shaft (crank shaft), an operation means for operating cylinder internal pressure on the basis of the detection signal from said detection means and an accidental fire cylinder discrimination means for discriminating a cylinder generating a misfire on the basis of the operation result of said operation means are provided to a multicylinder engine wherein an electromagnetic fuel jet valve 6 is provided to each suction port and an ignition plug is provided to each cylinder. With respect only to an idling, average effective pressure Pi can be shown as the function of pressure Pw calculated from the change in the angular velocity of an expansion process. For example, in a four-cylinder engine, Pw of a cylinder generating a misfire largely changes to a negative side. That is, if Pw of a certain cylinder continuously varies to the negative in a certain value or more, said cylinder can be judged as generating a misfire.
