Control method and apparatus for direct injection spark ignited internal combustion engine

A control apparatus for a direct injection spark ignited internal combustion engine, the direct injection spark ignited internal combustion engine comprising:

• a fuel injection valve configured to perform a direct injection of fuel into an engine cylinder;
• and a spark plug and the control apparatus comprising:
• a super retard combustion executing section configured to execute a super retard combustion comprising an ignition through the spark plug at a timing after a compression top dead center and at least once fuel injection in which the injection of fuel is started at a timing after the compression top dead center and before the ignition, during a cold start of the engine;
• and
• an inhibiting section configured to inhibit an execution of the super retard combustion for a predetermined interval of time immediately after the cold start of the engine.
