Abstract
A method for controlling the air-fuel ratio of a vehicle includes: calculating the air amount charged in a cylinder of an engine by using a fresh air amount, a residual air amount remaining inside the cylinder of the engine, and a backflow gas amount flowing back into the cylinder upon the valve overlap of an intake vale and an exhaust valve of the engine, correcting it with the purge gas flow rate supplied to an intake manifold of the engine when the active purge system is operated, calculating the final fuel amount by correcting the fuel amount injected by a fuel injection device with the amount of the fuel component contained in the purge gas when the active purge system is operated, and controlling the air-fuel ratio based on the final air amount and the final fuel amount.
