Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling fuel that is supplied to cylinders of an internal combustion engine are described. In one example, oxygen sensors are placed in an exhaust system of an engine such that each oxygen sensor may detect exhaust gas from a pair of engine cylinders. The oxygen sensors may then provide feedback to coupled and decoupled fuel controllers.
