Abstract
An output voltage from an O.sub.2 sensor is intermittently sampled and the sampled voltage is converted into a binary signal. The binary signal is applied to an electrical digital computer, and therein the following operations are carried out. First, the maximum and minimum values of the applied binary signal are detected, then the difference between the detected values is calculated. Thereafter, the calculated difference is compared with a predetermined value to generate a binary signal indicative of the comparison result. The air-fuel ratio feedback control responsive to the applied binary signal is executed when the binary comparison result signal indicates that the calculated difference is larger than or equal to a predetermined value.
