ABSTRACT:
An air-fuel ratio control device is for an internal combustion engine having a fuel injector and a catalytic converter, with an O.sub.2 storage ability, arranged in an exhaust passage. The device comprises a first air-fuel ratio detector for detecting an air-fuel ratio in an exhaust gas upstream of the catalytic converter and a second air-fuel ratio detector for detecting an air-fuel ratio in exhaust gas downstream of the catalytic converter. The device controls an amount of injected fuel on the basis of an output of the first air-fuel ratio detector, and corrects a standard output of the first air-fuel ratio detector corresponding to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio by a correction value determined on the basis of a difference between an air-fuel ratio detected by the second air-fuel ratio detector and the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. Moreover, the device changes the correction value such that the lower a current O.sub.2 storage ability is, determined on the basis of a variable which varies in accordance with the current O.sub.2 storage ability, the smaller said correction value becomes.
