Title: Air-fuel ratio feedback control system for internal combustion engines, having function of correcting position of air/fuel ratio control valve actuator

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5486492

An air/fuel ratio feedback control system for internal combustion engines is disclosed, which is arranged such that when a pulse motor for driving an air/fuel ratio control valve passes the switching point of position detecting means during feedback control operation, a value indicative of the number of steps corresponding to the reference position of the pulse motor, stored in a memory in an electrical circuit for driving the pulse motor is simultaneously shifted to an actual position counter. Air/fuel ratio control can be achieved with accuracy on the basis of a count in the above actual position counter which thus exactly corresponds to the actual position of the pulse motor.
