CONTROL DEVICE FOR DIESEL ENGINE

A control device for a diesel engine that is capable of restraining deterioration of a combustion state in a wide range of temperature environment conditions, in a diesel engine including an EGR device. In the control device for a diesel engine including the EGR device which recirculates exhaust gas from an exhaust passage to an intake passage, means for performing reduction correction that reduces an exhaust gas recirculation amount by the EGR device when the combustion state of the diesel engine is deteriorated, means for acquiring a temperature correlation value having a correlation with a cylinder temperature at a time of ignition of the diesel engine, and means for restricting execution of reduction correction when the temperature correlation value is smaller than a threshold value.
