ABSTRACT:
The control apparatus for the internal combustion engine increases a fuel injection amount under predetermined conditions, such as after the start of the internal combustion engine, at cold time, at acceleration requiring time, at gear shifting time from a neutral to a D-range, for example. When the fuel injection amount is increased during execution of air/fuel ratio feedback control, the feedback control follows the increase amount, and executes correction corresponding to the increase amount. Then, at the point of time when the correction corresponding to the increase amount is completed, the increase of the fuel injection amount is stopped quickly. Thereby, the increase of the fuel injection amount is not continued unnecessarily, and therefore useless consumption of the fuel can be suppressed. Also, it becomes possible to start other controls early by finishing increase quickly. For example, when the canister purge is executed during the increase of the fuel injection amount, it is difficult to distinguish an evaporated fuel amount by purge and an increase amount by the fuel increase, and learning precision of a vapor concentration is lowered. Therefore, purge is not performed during the increase of the fuel injection amount, and the purge control is performed after the fuel increase is stopped quickly, whereby it becomes possible to start purge control early.
