Internal combustion engine control device

An internal combustion engine control device which is applied in a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine,

• the multi-cylinder internal combustion engine including:
• a first fuel injection valve that injects fuel into cylinders,
• a second fuel injection valve that injects fuel into an intake passage, and
• an exhaust recirculation device that recirculates some of exhaust flowing in an exhaust passage into the intake passage,
• wherein the internal combustion engine control device conducts imbalance determination for detecting variations in air-fuel ratio among cylinders, and
• wherein the internal combustion engine control device performs a limiting process, thereby limiting recirculation of exhaust into the intake passage by the exhaust recirculation device when conducting the imbalance determination during engine operation by fuel injection from the first fuel injection valve only, compared to when conducting the imbalance determination during engine operation involving fuel injection from the second fuel injection valve.
