ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an engine control for an internal combustion engine having at least one combustion chamber and an air/fuel charging system for delivering an air and fuel charge to the combustion chamber for combustion therein. The control includes an oxygen sensor associated with the combustion chamber, the sensor providing feedback data based upon the air/fuel ratio of the charge supplied to the combustion chamber. The control also includes at least one sensor for sensing a condition other than the air/fuel ratio in the combustion chamber which affects the output of the oxygen sensor. The control adjusts the air/fuel ratio of the charge delivered to the combustion chamber towards a target value based upon the output of the oxygen sensor, the control arranged to adjust the target value based upon the output of the at least one sensor sensing an operating condition other than the air/fuel ratio.
