Abstract

This specification discloses an apparatus and method for controlling the air fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine in response to a signal from an exhaust gas oxygen sensor. A signal proportional to the average air fuel ratio indicated by exhaust gases is integrated to produce a control signal which governs the air fuel ratio. A feedback loop around the integrator provides for an advantageously fast time response of the controller with no over-shoot or instability.
