Air/fuel ratio control system for internal combustion engine

摘要

An air/fuel ratio control system is provided for use with an internal combustion engine. The system includes a first air/fuel ratio detector arranged on an upstream side of a catalytic converter so as to detect the air/fuel ratio of the engine from components of exhaust gas, a second air/fuel ratio detector arranged in the exhaust system and having a detection response speed slower than the first air/fuel ratio detector, a device for controlling the air/fuel ratio of the engine on the basis of results of a comparison between a detection value from the first air/fuel ratio detector and a predetermined first reference value, a device for effecting a correction to the control of the air/fuel ratio by the air/fuel ratio control device on the basis of results of a comparison between a detection value from the second air/fuel ratio detector and a predetermined second reference value, and a device for shifting the second reference value to a lean air/fuel ratio side in a specific operation state of the engine.
