Abstract

A method of feedback control for an electronic fuel injection system in an internal combustion engine includes the steps of calculating a front O.sub.2 sensor switching voltage threshold based on a signal from a front O.sub.2 sensor upstream of a catalyst in an exhaust system for the engine and from a rear O.sub.2 sensor downstream of the catalyst, comparing a voltage output of the front O.sub.2 sensor to the calculated front O.sub.2 sensor switching voltage threshold to determine if a fuel/air ratio of the engine is rich or lean, and decreasing or increasing an amount of fuel to the engine by fuel injectors of the electronic fuel injection system if the fuel/air ratio is determined rich or lean, respectively.
