INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CONTROL DEVICE AND INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CONTROL METHOD

An internal combustion engine control device includes: a temperature acquisition unit configured to acquire the temperature of an internal combustion engine at the time when it is requested to start the internal combustion engine; a motoring execution unit configured to execute motoring of the internal combustion engine using the motor when it is requested to start the internal combustion engine; and an in-cylinder pressure control unit configured to control the in-cylinder pressure of the internal combustion engine during the motoring based on the temperature of the internal combustion engine. The in-cylinder pressure control unit is configured to execute in-cylinder pressure increase control, in which the in-cylinder pressure is increased when the temperature of the internal combustion engine is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold temperature compared to when the temperature of the internal combustion engine is higher than the threshold temperature, since the motoring is started.
