Abstract
The internal combustion engine comprises an exhaust purification catalyst and downstream side air-fuel ratio sensor. The control system performs feedback control so that the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust purification catalyst becomes a target air-fuel ratio and performs learning control which corrects the control center air-fuel ratio based on the output air-fuel ratio of the downstream side air-fuel ratio sensor. The target air-fuel ratio is switched between the lean air-fuel ratio and the rich air-fuel ratio. In the learning control, when the target air-fuel ratio is set to the rich air-fuel ratio and the output air-fuel ratio of the downstream side air-fuel ratio sensor is maintained in an air-fuel ratio region in proximity to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio for the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio judgment time or more, stoichiometric air-fuel ratio stuck learning is performed, changing air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas to the rich side.
