  • Patent number: 4926826
    Abstract: An electric air-fuel ratio control apparatus for use in an internal combustion engine provided with an oxygen sensor detecting an oxygen concentration in an exhaust gas from the engine and having such an output characteristic that the output value thereof is gradually changed with the oxygen concentration corresponding to the air-fuel ratio in a zone in the vicinity of a theoretical air-fuel ratio is disclosed. The air-fuel ratio control is performed by controlling a fuel injection quantity which is calculated mainly based on a basic fuel injection quantity and an air-fuel ratio correction coefficient in response to an output from the oxygen sensor and is performed in a manner of integration control. The control results in that it is possible to specify the air-fuel ratio in the zone in the vicinity of the aimed-value i.e. the theoretical air-fuel ratio by using the oxygen sensor according to the present invention and accordingly no response delay of the control is caused.
