Abstract
In a control apparatus for use an internal combustion engine in which warming-up time air fuel ratio control is executed, the air fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the three-way catalyst is changed to an air fuel ratio higher by the predetermined amount, by using as a trigger the timing at which a measured value of an air fuel ratio sensor indicates a rich air fuel ratio. In addition, when the timing at which the measured value of the air fuel ratio sensor indicates the rich air fuel ratio is earlier than a reference timing, the starting-time-rich-air-fuel-ratio in the next and following warming-up time air fuel ratio control is corrected to an air fuel ratio which is higher than that in the current warming-up time air fuel ratio control.
