An electronic control system for controlling the air-fuel ratio for an internal combustion engine comprising an oxygen sensor for detecting the concentration of oxygen in exhaust gases of the engine, an on-off type electromagnetic valve for correcting the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied by an air-fuel mixture supply device, a comparator for evaluating the output signal of the oxygen sensor, an integrating and a proportional circuit connected to the comparator, and a driving circuit for producing pulses for driving the on-off type electromagnetic valve from output signals of the integrating circuit and proportional circuits for controlling the air-fuel ratio to a value substantially equal to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. A potentiometer-type transducer converts the operation of the throttle valve to an electric output, and a differentiating circuit differentiates the output of the transducer. The constants of the integrating and proportional circuits are increased by the differentiation signal from the differentiating circuit upon acceleration and deceleration of the engine.
In a system for controlling the air-fuel ratio control for an internal combustion engine of the type having a carburetor with an intake passage, air-fuel mixture supply means for supplying an air-fuel mixture to the intake passage, an exhaust passage communicating with the engine, a throttle valve in the intake passage, detecting means for detecting the concentration of a constituent of exhaust gases passing through said exhaust passage and producing an output signal dependent thereon, comparator means for comparing said output signal of said detecting means with a set value and producing an output signal dependent thereon, an integrating circuit and a proportional circuit connected to said comparator means, a driving circuit connected to said integrating and proportional circuits for producing an output signal in dependency on said output signal of said integrating and proportional circuits, an electromagnetic valve means actuated by the output signal of said driving circuit for correcting the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied by said air-fuel mixture supply means, throttle sensing means for detecting the operation of said throttle valve and producing an output signal dependent on the magnitude of acceleration and deceleration respectively of said internal combustion engine, and a circuit for varying the constant of said integrating and proportional circuits, the improvement comprising
