    摘要: Disclosed is an evaporative fuel purging apparatus used for an internal combustion engine. A canister having an absorbing agent for absorbing an evaporative fuel generated in a fuel tank of the internal combustion engine is provided. A drain control valve is provided on a drain port for opening the canister to the atmospheric air, and which is adapted to open and close the drain port. A purge control valve is provided on a purge passage communicating the canister to a part of an intake system, and which is adapted to purge the evaporative fuel absorbed into the canister through opening and closing the purge passage. A diagnostic device diagnoses the presence or absence of leakage in a purge system which is sealed up by closing the drain control valve and the purge control valve after pressure-reduction treatment. In the above apparatus, the drain control valve is opened after termination of the diagnosis by the diagnostic device, to open the canister to the atmospheric air through the drain port, and after an elapse of a specified time, the purge is started by opening the purge control valve. With this construction, it is possible to prevent the rapid change in the air-fuel ratio in re-starting the purge after termination of the diagnosis for the purge system, and hence to improve the stabilization of the emission and the drivability.

    摘要: An abnormality detection system is provided, which detects abnormality in an evaporative fuel control system for an internal combustion engine. A plurality of temperature sensors are arranged in an evaporative fuel storage device at different locations for detecting the temperature of an adsorbent or in the vicinity thereof within the storage device at the different locations. An ECU controls at least one of charging of evaporative fuel from the fuel tank to the storage device and purging of evaporative fuel from the storage device to the intake system of the engine. The ECU determines the presence or absence of an abnormality in the evaporative fuel control system, based upon output values from the temperature sensors assumed when the control system is operative. A state in which adsorption of evaporative fuel generated in the fuel tank to the adsorbent of the storage device has been completed is detected, based upon the amount of a rise in temperature detected while the charging is being effected. The ECU effects the abnormality determination after the state has been detected. The system may be applied to an internal combustion engine in which the air-fuel ratio is controlled by the use of an air-fuel ratio correction coefficient determined in response to an output from an air-fuel ratio sensor.

    摘要: An evaporative fuel processing system adapted to be capable of detecting abnormality of an evaporative emission control system for storing, in a canister, evaporative fuel from a fuel tank for holding fuel to be supplied to an internal combustion engine, and purging evaporative fuel into the intake system of the engine. A first control valve is arranged across a passage extending between the fuel tank and the canister. A second control valve is arranged across a passage extending between the canister and the intake system of the engine. A third control valve is provided for an air inlet part of the canister communicatable with the atmosphere. Through operating these control valves to open and close them, the evaporative emission control system is negatively pressurized, and abnormality of this system is detected based on the pressure detected in this negatively pressurized state thereof. Timing for carrying out abnormality determination is determined depending on conditions of the fuel tank. Before starting the whole process for abnormality diagnosis of the system evaporative fuel stored in the canister is allowed to be purged for a predetermined time period. When the temperature of fuel in the fuel tank exceeds a predetermined value, the abnormality determination is inhibited.

    摘要: A combustion state-determining system for an internal combustion engine has an ECU which determines a misfiring state of the engine, and calculates a misfiring rate of the engine, based on the result of the determination of the misfiring state. A catalyst temperature sensor detects the temperature of a catalytic converter as the exhaust system temperature, and the ECU determines the combustion state of the engine, based on the detected exhaust system temperature and the calculated misfiring rate. A combustion state control system restrains the output from the engine, based on the determination result of the combustion state-determining system.

    摘要: A catalyst deterioration-determining system determines deterioration of a catalyst arranged in the exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine. An ECU is responsive to an output from an O.sub.2 sensor arranged upstream of the catalyst or outputs from O.sub.2 sensors arranged upstream and downstream of the catalyst for controlling the air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine by means of an air-fuel ratio correction value (first air-fuel ratio control). When the engine is in a predetermined operating condition, the system effects changeover from the first air-fuel ratio control to a second air-fuel ratio control which is responsive to the output from the downstream O.sub.2 sensor for controlling the air-fuel ratio of the mixture by means of the air-fuel ratio correction value. After the changeover has been effected, a time period is measured which elapses from the time the second air-fuel ratio control causes a change in the air-fuel ratio correction value from a richer side to a leaner side or vice versa with respect to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio to the time the output from the downstream O.sub.2 sensor is inverted from the richer side to the leaner side or vice versa with respect to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. It is determined that the catalyst is deteriorated, when the measured time period is shorter than the predetermined time period.

    摘要: A tank internal pressure-detecting device for an internal combustion engine having an evaporative emission control system for controlling purging of evaporative fuel generated in a fuel tank thereof into an intake system thereof. An ECU interrupts purging of evaporative fuel by the evaporative emission control system for a predetermined period of time after the engine is started. The ECU causes control valves of the evaporative emission control system to open the interior of the fuel tank to the atmosphere, and stores a value of pressure within the fuel tank detected by a tank internal pressure sensor as a reference value while the purging is being interrupted and at the same time the interior of the fuel tank is opened to the atmosphere. The ECU corrects an output value of the tank internal pressure sensor, based upon the reference value stored.

    摘要: Misfire detection system for an internal combustion engine. If misfire is found to occur due to vapor lock temporarily happening, it will erroneously be judged that the structure of the engine or the fuel supply system is out of order. However, vapor lock is an interruption of the flow of fuel in a gasoline engine caused by formation of vapor or gas bubbles, and does not mean the engine or the fuel supply system is degraded in its structure. On the contrary, if misfire is detected in such situation, the misfire detection degrades the reliability of the system. The misfire detection is therefore inactivated during conditions in which vapor lock is liable to occur, by discontinuing the detection, or by deliberately deeming no misfire to occurs even if it is so detected. Alternatively, the reference level for misfire detection is raised during such conditions.
