Abstract: At the time of start-up, fuel supply is made excessive. When air-fuel ratio feedback control is started while the fuel is excessive, the control is put into a state of overshoot or hunting, and it takes a long time to converge to the target air-fuel ratio. In an air-fuel ratio control apparatus, a selection switch is provided at the output of an integration calculation circuit to perform air-fuel ratio feedback control, and immediately after start-up of the engine, an upper/lower limit clip value for use immediately after start-up, which is smaller than a normal one, is selected to perform the air-fuel ratio feedback control. Even if the air-fuel ratio feedback control is started immediately after the start-up in a state where the fuel is excessive, the actual air-fuel ratio does not overshoot with respect to the target air-fuel ratio and is quickly converged to the target air-fuel ratio.

Abstract: A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine can detect degradation of a three-way catalyst with high accuracy without causing deterioration in an exhaust. A pair of first and second air fuel ratio detectors are disposed in an exhaust system at locations upstream and downstream of the three-way catalyst for detecting a first and a second air fuel ratio of an exhaust gas. A target oxygen change amount calculator calculates a target oxygen change amount of the three-way catalyst, and an oxygen change amount calculator calculates an oxygen change amount of the three-way catalyst from an amount of exhaust gas passing through the three-way catalyst and the first air fuel ratio. An air fuel ratio operator inversely controls the air fuel ratio to a rich side and a lean side with a prescribed air fuel ratio width each time the oxygen change amount reaches a target oxygen change amount.
