Abstract
In a multiple cylinder supercharged engine, when reduced cylinder operation is executed, a throttle, which is located downstream of a compressor driven by a turbine provided in an exhaust passage, through which exhaust gas of a cylinder group flows, is operated to a fully closed state, wherein the reduced cylinder operation is applied to the cylinder group. A fuel injection amount of at least one cylinder included in the cylinder group is made smaller than a fuel injection amount of a cylinder included in another cylinder group, and this at least one cylinder is operated, in order to increase rotational speed of the compressor, so that a value of pressure of an upstream side of the throttle is controlled to a value, which is equal to or larger than a value of pressure of a downstream side of the throttle.
