Abstract

In a method wherein a fuel injection time duration is allowed to perform a proportional-plus-integral action by the use of an air-fuel ratio feedback correction coefficient obtained from the output of an O.sub.2 sensor thereby to control an air-fuel ratio to a target air-fuel ratio, a correction value for allowing a mean value of the air-fuel ratio feedback correction coefficient to approach a predetermined value is varied every time the air-fuel ratio feedback correction coefficient skips a plurality of times, thereby to learn-control the air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture to be a stoichiometric one.
