Abstract (en)

A forced stoichiometric combustion is executed every time a cumulative travel distance of a vehicle increases by a distance, thereby creating an opportunity to determine an air-fuel ratio value in a region in which a rich spike control is performed. Therefore, the determination of an air-fuel ratio value can be precisely calculated so that the air-fuel ratio value corresponds to a value that reflects a deviation of the actual air-fuel ratio and a proper value. Accordingly, it becomes possible to control, with high precision, correlation between the air-fuel ratio and a proper value based on the determined air-fuel ratio value during a fuel-rich combustion that is caused by the rich spike control. <IMAGE>
