The plurality of cylinders of a multicylinder engine are divided into first group cylinders and second group cylinders, and first and second exhaust sensors are provided to respectively detect the air-fuel ratios of the intake mixtures fed to the first group cylinders and second group cylinders. The air-fuel ratio for the first group cylinders is controlled in a closed loop by a first integration signal generated based on the output of the first exhaust sensor and the air-fuel ratio for the second group cylinders is controlled in a closed loop by a second integration signal generated based on the output of the second exhaust sensor. One of the first and second integration signals is corrected so that the air-fuel ratios for the first group cylinders and second group cylinders are increased and reduced in phases reverse to each other.

Air-fuel ratio control system for multicylinder engine

A fuel supply arrangement for an internal combustion engine, including an adjusting device for adjusting supply amount of fuel to the engine, an air temperature sensor for detecting temperature of intake air, a correcting device for correctively controlling the adjusting device on the basis of an output of the air temperature sensor, a detecting device for detecting a specific engine operating condition where the output of the air temperature sensor is higher than an actual temperature of the intake air, and a restricting device for restricting corrective control of the correcting device in response to a detection output of the detecting device.
