Abstract

An electronic control fuel supply system for use in an internal combustion engine. The system includes a .lambda. sensor adapted to digitally vary an output signal in response to the air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture being supplied to the engine, and an integrating circuit. The input of the integrating circuit is connected to the output of the .lambda. sensor and has a time constant whereby the open duration of a fuel injection valve provided in the engine intake system is controlled by the output voltage of the integrating circuit. In this fuel supply system, the time constant of the integrating circuit is changed from a first value to a smaller second value after the start of acceleration of the internal combustion engine and during the time that the air-fuel ratio of the mixture is larger than a predetermined value. The integrating circuit is connected to a fuel-amount control circuit which in turn is connected to the fuel injection valve which opens into the intake system of the engine.
