    摘要: A method of firing a spark plug of an internal combustion engine includes supplying AC power to the spark plug in which the AC power has a waveform with a rising edge and a falling edge, activating the spark plug during the rising edge of the waveform, and deactivating the spark plug during the falling edge of the waveform. This method further includes connecting an engine control module to an ignition coil and connecting the engine coil to the spark plug. The firing of the ignition coil mirrors the square waveform of AC power from the engine control module. A battery is connected to the engine control module.

    摘要: It is an object of the present invention to provide a control device for an internal combustion engine capable of appropriately controlling compression ratio and ignition timing before the target compression ratio that is set according to humidity is attained. A control device for an internal combustion engine controls the internal combustion engine including a cylinder, humidity detection means for detecting humidity of outside air supplied to the cylinder, a variable compression ratio mechanism for changing a compression ratio of the cylinder, and an ignition device igniting air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, and the control device includes: a compression ratio control unit controlling the variable compression ratio mechanism; and an ignition control unit controlling ignition timing of the ignition device, wherein corresponding characteristics between compression ratio and ignition timing are determined for each humidity according to a predetermined condition of an operation state of the internal combustion engine, the compression ratio control unit determines a target compression ratio of the variable compression ratio mechanism according to the detected humidity, and while the variable compression ratio mechanism changes a compression ratio to the target compression ratio, the ignition control unit controls the ignition device on the basis of corresponding characteristics determined according to the detected humidity.
