A malfunction detection apparatus for detecting a malfunction in an evaporated fuel purge system for use in an internal combustion engine. The apparatus includes a vapor passage connecting a fuel tank to a canister for feeding fuel vapor from the fuel tank into the canister, a purge passage connecting the canister to an intake passage of the engine for feeding the fuel vapor adsorbed in an adsorbent in the canister into the intake passage, a purge control valve provided for controlling a flow of the adsorbed fuel vapor in the canister being fed into the intake passage, a pressure sensor provided for outputting a signal indicative of pressure in the vapor passage, and a malfunction detection part responsive to the signal outputted by the pressure sensor for detecting a malfunction in the evaporated fuel purge system.
