A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine is provided to calculate, on the basis of the output values of the in-cylinder pressure sensor, a combustion index value which indicates the stability of combustion. If reduction of knock is required, the spark timing is retarded. An increment of injected fuel is executed in such a manner that a combustion index value that indicates the actual stability of combustion at a retard execution cycle that is a combustion cycle at which the retard of the spark timing is executed approaches a target value of a combustion index value that indicates the stability of combustion at a before-retard cycle.

When a catalytic converter in an exhaust passage is in an un-activated state, an intake air amount is increased, as compared to when the converter is in an activated state under the same engine operation condition, and an ignition timing is retarded beyond a TDC of a compression stroke. The ignition timing is set such that a retard amount thereof from the TDC becomes larger as an external load causing a rotational resistance of an engine becomes lower. A valve opening start timing of an exhaust valve is set such that, when the external load is lower than a given reference load, the valve starts opening, before an in-cylinder pressure reaches a peak, according to combustion of an air-fuel mixture ignited at the above ignition timing, in a subsequent expansion stroke, wherein the in-cylinder pressure is based on an assumption that the valve is maintained in a valve-closed state.
