Abstract (en)

[origin: DE4415994A1] The invention relates to a control system for an internal combustion engine (100). The control system of the invention enriches the air/fuel mixture supplied to the engine (100) when a signal directly or indirectly giving the efficiency of the engine (100) falls below a threshold ( eta S). The enrichment prevents the exhaust gas temperature which rises with falling engine (100) efficiency to increase to the extent where the exhaust valve or the exhaust system, especially the exhaust catalyst (116), may suffer damage.
