Abstract

In engine feedback control, a target air-fuel ratio corresponding amount is computed according to engine running conditions. A steady state deposition amount is also computed according to the target air-fuel ratio corresponding amount and engine running conditions. A difference between the steady state deposition amount and the deposition amount at that time is calculated, and a deposition rate is computed based on a quantity proportion. A basic injection amount is corrected by the target air-fuel ratio corresponding amount, and this corrected value is again corrected by the deposition rate so as to calculate a final injection amount. As the steady state deposition amount varies according to the target air-fuel ratio corresponding amount according to this invention, overrichness or overleanness due to insufficiency of the transient correction amount when the target air-fuel ratio corresponding amount is changed, is prevented.
