Abstract

An exhaust gas recirculation control system for an internal combustion engine, in which a feedback signal representing the amount of actually recirculated exhaust gas is produced by detecting the concentration of either CO.sub.2 or H.sub.2 O, which is contained in the exhaust gas in a nearly constant concentration, in combustible gas mixture diluted with recirculated exhaust gas.
