Abstract

There is provided a controller and a control method for an internal combustion engine capable of correcting a detection error of a crankshaft angle with high accuracy. A controller for an internal combustion engine includes an angle information detector that detects an angle interval and a time interval by a specific crank angle sensor; an angle information correction calculator that corrects the angle interval or the time interval by the correction value; an angle information calculator that calculates a crank angle speed, a crank angle acceleration, and an angular acceleration change amount based on the corrected angle interval and the corrected time interval; and a correction value change calculator that change the correction value so that the angular acceleration change amount approaches zero.
