Abstract

An air-fuel ratio control system which calculates a basic injection amount of fuel by state detecting sensors (21) each of which detects an operating state of an internal combustion engine, air-amount detecting sensors (22) each of which detects an intake air amount, an air-fuel ratio sensor (23), and a predetermined data group. Further, the air-fuel ratio control system stores past amount data of injected fuel and air-fuel ratio data at each control cycle. A neuro-computation unit (29) reads values of the data detected by the sensors (21,22) and the stored data to obtain an air-fuel ratio estimate to calculate a correction injection amount of fuel by a neural network of a forward neuro-computing unit (210), which has learned beforehand about relations of the injected fuel amount, the detected air-fuel ratio, parameters, and dead time.
