ADAPTIVE CHARGE MIXTURE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

of the Description An adaptive charge mixture control for an internal combustion engine includes four input signals supplied to an OR gate to generate a net "go rich" signal supplied to a servo motor controlling an air/fuel charge mixture control valve for an internal combustion engine. The servo is also supplied with a "go lean" fixed signal tending to lean out the air/fuel mixture. The four "go rich" signals include a first signal derived from a comparison of engine speed with a predetermined minimum (i.e., idle) level; a second signal derived from comparing throttle positions with a preset minimum throttle position; a third signal derived from comparing engine deceleration rate with a preset engine deceleration rate; and a fourth signal derived from a measurement of engine instantaneous power output.
