Abstract
A fuel supply control method for electronically controlling the air/fuel ratio supply to an engine, in response to the output from means for detecting concentration of an ingredient in exhaust gases from the engine. When the engine is in a feedback control region, the air/fuel ratio control is effected by the use of a first coefficient, the value of which is variable in response to the output from the exhaust gas ingredient concentration detecting means, while simultaneously a mean value of values of the first coefficient applied during the feedback control operation is calculated for use as a second coefficient. The second coefficient and a predetermined value are used for control of the air/fuel ratio, in place of the first coefficient, respectively, when the engine is in a first one of the particular operating regions and when the engine is in a second one of same. Preferably, when there is a transition of the operating condition of the engine from one of the particular operating regions to the feedback control region, the air/fuel ratio control is initiated by the use of a second predetermined value other than the above predetermined value, preferably the above second coefficie…
