Abstract

In an air-fuel ratio feedback system including a single air-fuel ratio sensor downstream of or within a three-way catalyst converter, a coarse-adjusting term AF.sub.c is calculated integrally in accordance with the output of the air-fuel ratio sensor, and an O.sub.2 storage term AF.sub.CCRO is calculated in accordance with an O.sub.2 storage amount of the three-way catalyst converter.
