Fuel control apparatus for an internal combustion engine

Claim 1

A fuel control apparatus for an internal combustion engine which comprises: an intake air quantity detecting means for detecting an intake air quantity for the engine, a crank angle detecting means for detecting a crank angle of the engine, a sampling means for sampling the intake air quantity at constant, predetermined time intervals, means for determining if the engine speed is at or above a predetermined value, a first calculating means for calculating the mean value of the sampled values during a single crank angle period when the engine speed is below the predetermined value, a second calculating means for calculating the mean value of the sampled values by dividing the sum of accumulated values of the air intake quantity samplings in one crank angle period at the present time and the accumulated values of the air intake quantity samplings in at least one crank angle period of a preceding time, by the sum of the number of samplings at the present time and the number of samplings at the preceding time when the engine speed is at or above the predetermined value, a third calculating means for calculating a fuel injection quantity on the basis of an output from a selected one of the first and second calculating means, and a fuel injection means for injecting fuel to the engine in accordance with the fuel injection quantity calculated by the third calculating means.
