Any anomaly in energy transfer is appropriately diagnosed in a vehicle. The energy transfer system of a vehicle is provided with: an input energy computation means (e.g., the chemical energy of fuel computation means) for determining the input energy of the energy transfer system; an output energy computation means (e.g., the vehicle kinetic energy computation means) for determining the energy output of the energy transfer system; and a comparing means (e.g., the comparing means) for comparing the input energy with the output energy. Any anomaly in the energy transfer system (e.g., any anomaly in fuel efficiency) is determined based on the result of comparison by the comparing means.

An engine control apparatus controls changeover of a combustion mode in an engine in which each cylinder has an injector that can perform fuel injection a predetermined number of times for each cylinder combustion. A control unit controls fuel injection and ignition timing from a spark plug. Upon combustion mode changeover from a first combustion mode, in which fuel injection is performed at least once for each cylinder combustion, to a second combustion mode, in which fuel injection is performed a greater number of times with a larger intake air volume than the first combustion mode, the control unit performs the steps of changing in the first combustion mode a target intake air volume required in the second combustion mode; retarding the ignition timing; changing to the second combustion mode; and further retarding the ignition timing.

There is provided a control apparatus for a cylinder injection internal combustion engine which suppresses fuel pulsation caused by cam phase deviation and thereby prevents internal combustion engine exhaust deterioration, so that the reliability of a high-pressure fuel system using a high-pressure fuel pump is improved. The control apparatus for a cylinder injection internal combustion engine includes a high-pressure fuel pump that raises the pressure of fuel and discharges the fuel to a fuel rail, and a fuel pressure sensor that detects a pressure of fuel stored in the fuel rail. The control apparatus controls the high-pressure fuel pump based on the fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure sensor. The control apparatus further includes a cam phase estimation means for estimating a phase of a cam shaft of the internal combustion engine which drives the high-pressure fuel pump, and based on the phase estimation value calculated by the cam phase estimation means, corrects the amount of controlling the high-pressure fuel pump.
