ABSTRACT:
An air/fuel control system for internal combustion engines having three-way (NOx, CO, and HC) catalytic converters. A feedback variable is generated by subtracting the normalized output of a nitrogen oxide sensor from the normalized output of a combined HC/CO sensor. The zero crossing point of the feedback variable identifies the operating point for optimal conversion efficiency of the catalytic converter and is used to trim liquid fuel delivery for maintaining optimal conversion efficiency.
