Abstract

A fuel control apparatus for an engine has an atmospheric pressure sensor for detecting the atmospheric pressure in the vicinity of the engine, and is constructed to correct the upper limit value of the intaken air amount preset in response to the operating characteristic of the engine in the operating range of the engine which does not exhibit the true value of the intaken air amount by the detected output of the air flow sensor due to the reverse-flow effect of the intaken air of the engine.
