Abstract

An engine control system is disclosed in which the air-fuel ratio is controlled by feedback in accordance with the oxygen concentration detected of the exhaust gas, and a feedback control system thereof separate learning compensation values for compensating for the changes of the input/output characteristics of an air flow meter and a fuel injector respectively. The engine control system comprises a device for detecting the engine intake air flow, a device for detecting the engine speed, a device for detecting the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas, a device for calculating the error between actual and target air-fuel ratios from the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas, a device for learning the changes in the input/output characteristics of the intake air flow, a detection device to determine a first compensation factor corresponding to the changes in the input/output characteristics thereof, a device for learning the changes in the input/output characteristics of the fuel injection device to determine a second compensation factor corresponding to the changes in the input/output characteristics thereof, a device for calculating a basic fuel injection amount from the first…
