Method and device for controlling the ignition of an internal combustion engine

To suppress waste of electric power by making energizing time to an ignition coil appropriate.SOLUTION: A reference energization time is determined based on a voltage of a power supply and a rotation speed. On the basis of a condition related to the combustion state of the internal combustion engine, it is determined whether the combustion state of the internal combustion engine is in a relatively stable first operation state or in a relatively unstable second operation state. To judge whether an actual combustion state is good or bad by detecting the actual combustion state of an internal combustion engine. When it is determined that the combustion state is good in the first operation state (time t1), the energization time is largely reduced and corrected from the reference energization time to a predetermined level, and thereafter, when it is determined that the actual combustion state is bad, the energization time is gradually corrected to be longer by a minute amount (time t2, t3). In the second operation state, when it is determined that the combustion state is good, the energization time is corrected to be gradually shortened by a minute amount from the reference energization time.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
