Abstract

A fuel metering control system for an internal combustion engine including a feedback loop having an adaptive controller and an adaptation mechanism that estimates controller parameters .theta.. The adaptive controller calculates a feedback correction coefficient that corrects the quantity of fuel injection to bring a controlled variable obtained at least based on an output of an air/fuel ratio sensor, to a desired air/fuel ratio. The convergence speed of the controller parameters are determined by a gain matrix. The gain matrix is determined in response to at least one of the detected engine operating conditions.
