Abstract

An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine utilizes a pre-stored standard relation between an air-fuel ratio sensor signal and a standard air-fuel ratio indicative value for deriving the standard air-fuel ratio indicative value based on the sensor signal. The system further utilizes a pre-stored modified relationship between the standard air-fuel ratio indicative value and a for-control air-fuel ratio indicative value for deriving a for-control air-fuel ratio indicative value based on the derived standard air-fuel ratio indicative value. In the modified relationship, the for-control air-fuel ratio indicative value varies with respect to a corresponding variation of the standard air-fuel ratio indicative value within a given range across the standard air-fuel ratio indicative value representing a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
