Abstract

An apparatus for controlling the amount of secondary air fed into an internal combustion engine includes means for controlling the response speed of a secondary air flow control means in accordance with the amount of exhaust gas emitted from the engine. Thus, the equivalent air-fuel ratio can be correctly controlled, without delay, in response to changes in the operating condition of the engine.
