Abstract
In an air-to-fuel ratio feedback control system, air-to-fuel ratio of mixture supplied to an engine is controlled to be stoichiometric in response to the oxygen concentration in exhaust gases during normal operating conditions of the engine, whereas it is controlled irrespective of the oxygen concentration during specific operating conditions such as heavy load and no load conditions of the engine. Sensor output signal indicative of the oxygen concentration which is integrated to control the air-to-fuel ratio is cut off and integrator output signal is increased or decreased by a predetermined value during the specific conditions so that the mixture is controlled to be richer or leaner as desired than the stoichiometry.
