Abstract

An air/fuel control method for an internal combustion engine. A portion of fuel delivered to the engine which is lost between the piston and engine cylinder walls during predetermined engine operating conditions is calculated. Fuel delivered to the engine is then adjusted for the calculated lost fuel quantity to achieve a desired engine air/fuel ratio.
