Abstract

In an internal combustion engine, a base fuel amount is calculated, and an air-fuel ratio deviation for each region is determined by a predetermined engine operating parameter when the engine is in a transient state such as an acceleration state or a deceleration state. A transient fuel correction amount is calculated in accordance with the calculated air-fuel ratio deviation for each region determined by the predetermined engine operating parameter. A fuel amount to be supplied to the engine is calculated by correcting said base fuel amount in accordance with the transient fuel correction amount.
