ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling the air fuel ratio of an internal combustion engine includes positioning a two cell oxygen pumping device in the exhaust gas of the engine. A pumping current is applied to a pumping cell and an EMF is sensed across a sensor cell. The sensed EMF is compared to reference voltage and an error signal is generated. The air fuel ratio is changed in response to the error signal so as to reduce the absolute magnitude of the error signal.
