Abstract

Air intake side secondary air supply system for an internal combustion engine includes first and second secondary air supply passages leading to an intake manifold in which an open/close valve and an air control valve are respectively provided for a proportional control and an integral control of secondary air. In order to improve a driveability of the engine when no load is applied to the engine when the engine temperature is low, the air control valve is supplied with a pressure for rapidly closing the second air intake side secondary air supply passage so as to stop at least the integral control of the feedback control of air/fuel ratio immediately when a no-load condition is detected during a cold operation of the engine.
