CONTROL APPARATUS FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

A CPU increases an injection amount when a coolant temperature of an internal combustion engine is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature. The CPU corrects the injection amount to control an air-fuel ratio to a target value in a feedback manner. The CPU performs a temperature raising process for a GPF, by stopping fuel injection in a second cylinder and making the air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture in first, third, and fourth cylinders richer than a theoretical air-fuel ratio. In performing the temperature raising process, the CPU stops a feedback process of the air-fuel ratio. In performing the temperature raising process, the CPU corrects the injection amount in a decreasing manner in accordance with an operation amount of the feedback process before the performance of the temperature raising process.
