Abstract

A device for detecting the air-fuel ratio of an engine by measuring an oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas by means of an oxygen sensor including an oxygen pump and a cell element for measuring the oxygen concentration ratio, comprising an air-fuel ratio detecting circuit which reads the output signal of the oxygen sensor and effects the detection of the air-fuel ratio when TDC signal has been produced, depending upon the operation of the engine, and a time previously set by a timer has passed.
