  • Patent number: 4388903
    Abstract: A device for controlling air-fuel ratio for an internal combustion engine with a use of the signal from an oxygen sensor adjacent to a three-way catalytic converter, the device comprising throttle sensor for detecting the transient running state of the engine and supplying the detected signal to a controller, integration by an integration circuit in the controller being commenced at a predetermined value produced in an initial voltage setting circuit in the controller, regardless of the preceding value of the output of the integration circuit, in such a transient state as a sudden deceleration.

  • Patent number: 4117811
    Abstract: A vacuum control valve is actuated by a vacuum created in the intake passage of an internal combustion engine for directly controlling on-off of a vacuum circuit thereby energizing or deenergizing a throttle valve positioner diaphragm device which controls motion of the throttle valve so as not to be abruptly urged in a closing direction. A first vacuum bleed port is connected by a conduit to a diaphragm chamber in the throttle valve positioner diaphragm device through an orifice and is located downstream relative to the throttle valve during rotation of the engine at an idling speed. A rod is connected to the diaphragm in the throttle valve positioner diaphragm device to restrict swinging movement of the throttle valve in the closing direction. The vacuum control valve is disposed in a conduit branched from the conduit connecting the first vacuum bleed port to the orifice and has a port which can communicate with the atmosphere.
