Abstract

A fuel control apparatus for an engine has a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the intake air to the engine, and is constructed to correct the upper limit value of the intake 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 intake air amount by the detected output of the air flow sensor due to the reverse-flow effect of the intake air of the engine by the detected temperature by the temperature sensor.
