Abstract
An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine utilizes an oxygen sensor to maintain a 14.5/1 air-fuel ratio at a first location in an intake manifold to an engine combustion chamber. A method and apparatus is disclosed for adding fuel and/or air to the air-fuel mixture at a second location, between the first location and the engine combustion chamber, so that the engine operates at a high economy, low emission point when idling, running at a substantially constant speed or decelerating and operates at a low economy point, yet still with low emissions, only when accelerating.
