ABSTRACT:
An air-fuel ratio control apparatus and control method thereof performs air-fuel ratio feedback control based on an estimated value (i.e., an upstream side estimated air-fuel ratio) of an air-fuel ratio of gas discharged from a combustion chamber into an exhaust passage and an output value of an air-fuel ratio sensor downstream of a catalyst. This upstream side estimated air-fuel ratio is accurately estimated based on an operating state of the engine and a combustion state (i.e., the degree of misfire in the combustion chamber) of the engine.
