Abstract
An air-fuel control system for an internal combustion engine is provided in which air-fuel ratio control system a deviation effect due to an amount of evaporated fuel distributed to each cylinder group differing from cylinder group to cylinder group is eliminated when a deviation of air-fuel ratio due to aging of the engine has been learned. A difference value between the air-fuel correction factor and a value of a range of distribution deviation of the air-fuel ratio is obtained so that the difference value is used as the air-fuel correction factor. The difference value is obtained when the engine is determined to be in a purging operation by the first determining means, and when it is determined that learning of the air-fuel ratio correction factor is not completed. The difference value represents a true deviation of the air-fuel ratio due to aging of the engine parts.
