Abstract

An electronic air-fuel mixture control system is adapted to an internal combustion engine to determine an optimum air-fuel ratio in dependence upon renewal of plural learning values related to a plurality of load regions of the engine. The control system is arranged to select one of the learning values in accordance with the engine load and to prohibit learning of the selected learning value when a difference between the selected learning value and the adjacent learning value is more than an allowable value determined in consideration with allowable fluctuation of the air-fuel ratio caused by change of the amount of air flowing into the engine.
