ABSTRACT:
An air/fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine is effective for improving exhaust characteristics and fuel combustion efficiency. Air/fuel ratio control is carried out by monitoring combustion pressure and analyzing variations therein for frequencies indicative of surge torque. Upon detecting of such indications a map selection function selects data maps from memory for controling the air/fuel ratio to be gradually enriched according to a detected amount of surge torque. If the amount of surge torque is within a predetermined basic range, the system is active to perform lean control for reducing the air/fuel ratio such that the engine may always run as lean as possible without incurring torque loss due to an insufficiently rich air/fuel ratio.
