An engine diagnosis method includes: a step of calculating a corrected command torque Tby correcting a command torque Tof an enginewith a correction amount according to a response characteristic of an engine torque T actually output with respect to the command torque T; and a step of diagnosing a state of the engine torque T by comparing a diagnostic torque Tdefined based on the corrected command torque Tand an estimated torque T. Particularly, in this engine diagnosis method, the correction amount is adjusted with reference to an operating state of the engine

An air-fuel ratio feedback control range is enlarged to improve exhaust purification performance and output stability. In one aspect, an air-fuel ratio control apparatus of an internal combustion engine comprises an air-fuel ratio sensor capable of detecting an air-fuel ratio across both lean and rich ranges with a theoretical air-fuel ratio interposed therebetween. Feedback control is performed so as to bring an actual air-fuel into a target air-fuel ratio at least in a predetermined operational range on the basis of a detected value of the air-fuel ratio sensor. Even in a range where the air-fuel ratio is made richer than the theoretical air-fuel ratio, the target air-fuel ratio is set to be richer, and the air-fuel ratio feedback control may still be executed.
