Abstract

See full text

When an engine (1) is in an idle state and the engine rotation speed exceeds a predetermined value, fuel supply is stopped. In this state, fuel supply is resumed when there is a shift to a non-idle state or when the engine rotation speed falls below a predetermined value. The oxygen adsorption amount of a three-way catalyst during the time period when fuel supply is stopped, is calculated. The air-fuel ratio is made richer according to the oxygen adsorption amount of the three-way catalyst when fuel supply is resumed. By limiting the richness of the air-fuel ratio at this time, fluctuations of engine output torque in the idle running state are suppressed.
