    摘要: A catalyst deterioration-determining system for an internal combustion engine has a catalyst arranged in the exhaust system, for purifying exhaust gases emitted from the engine, an oxygen concentration sensor arranged in the exhaust system at a location downstream of the catalyst, for detecting the concentration of oxygen present in the exhaust gases, and an ECU which controls the air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine in a feedback manner in response to the output from the oxygen concentration sensor. Determination of deterioration of the catalyst is carried out based on the output from the oxygen concentration sensor during execution of air-fuel ratio feedback control. An inversion period parameter representative of a repetition period of change in the output from the oxygen concentration sensor over a predetermined diagnosis period is measured, and a determination parameter is calculated by averaging values of the inversion period parameter measured over different diagnosis periods as the predetermined diagnosis period. The determination of deterioration of the catalyst is carried out based on the determination parameter.

    摘要: An evaporative fuel-processing system for an internal combustion engine has an evaporative emission control system. An ECU carries out negative pressurization of the interior of the evaporative emission control system, by opening a purge control valve and closing a vent shut valve, and determines presence/absence of leakage from the evaporative emission control system, based on a rate of decrease in negative pressure within the system, by closing a purge control valve. Before the negative pressurization, the interior of the evaporative emission control system is opened to the atmosphere, and during the open-to-atmosphere, a pressure state within the fuel tank is estimated based on a rate of change in an output from a pressure sensor which senses pressure within the evaporative emission control system. The ECU determines whether the evaporative emission control system is normal, based on the estimated pressure state.

    摘要: An evaporative fuel-processing system for an internal combustion engine has an evaporative emission control system and a pressure sensor. An ECU carries out negative pressurization of the interior of the evaporative emission control system, by opening a purge control valve and closing a vent shut valve. The purge control valve is closed over a predetermined time period after the interior of the evaporative emission control system is brought into the predetermined negatively pressurized state, and a rate of decrease in negative pressure within the evaporative emission control system is detected. Then, it is determined whether or not there is leakage from the evaporative emission control system, based on the detected rate of decrease in the negative pressure, and at least one detected pressure value at at least one predetermined time point within the predetermined time period over which the purge control valve is closed.

    摘要: An evaporative fuel-processing system for an internal combustion engine includes a canister for adsorbing evaporative fuel generated in the fuel tank, a charging passage connecting between the canister and the fuel tank, a purging passage connecting between the canister and the intake system of the engine, an open-to-atmosphere passage for communicating the canister with atmosphere, a charge control valve for selectively opening and closing the charging passage, a purge control valve for selectively opening and closing the purging passage, and a vent shut valve for selectively opening and closing the open-to-atmosphere valve, and a pressure sensor inserted in the charging passage at a location on one side of the charge control valve closer to the fuel tank, for detecting internal pressure within the charging passage. When predetermined conditions are satisfied, the purge control valve is closed and the charge control valve and the vent shut valve are opened. It is determined that the vent shut valve is abnormal when the internal pressure detected by the pressure sensor is below a predetermined negative pressure value while the purge control valve, the charge control valve, and the vent shut valve are in the above respective states.

    摘要: A device for measuring a flow rate of a mixture of evaporative fuel and air supplied to an internal combustion engine comprises a plurality of flowmeters arranged in a purging passage connecting between a canister and an intake passage of the engine for purging the mixture of evaporative fuel and air therethrough into the intake passage. The flowmeters have different output characteristics relative to concentration of the evaporative fuel in the mixture. At least one of the concentration of the evaporative fuel in the mixture and the volumetric flow rate of the mixture are detected based on outputs from the flowmeters. In an air-fuel ratio control system incorporating the above device, the weight per unit time of evaporative fuel supplied to the intake system is calculated from the detected concentration of the evaporative fuel and the detected volumetric flow rate of the mixture. The air-fuel ratio of a total air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine is corrected by the use of the ratio of the calculated weight per unit time of evaporative fuel supplied by purging to the intake system to weight per unit time of fuel supplied by injection to the engine.

    摘要: A mass flowmeter outputs an output value indicative of the flow rate of a gaseous mixture containing evaporative fuel and being purged into the intake system of an internal combustion engine. A calculated value of the flow rate of the mixture is obtained based on a plurality of operating parameters of the engine. The actual flow rate of the mixture and/or the actual flow rate of the evaporative fuel are/is calculated based on the output value from the mass flowmeter and the calculated value based on the engine operating parameters. The concentration of the evaporative fuel is calculated from the calculated actual flow rates of the evaporative fuel and the mixture. The calculated actual flow rate is compared with a desired flow rate value, and a purge control valve is controlled based on results of the comparison. A basic amount of fuel supplied to the engine is corrected based on the calculated actual flow rate of the evaporative fuel.

    摘要: An evaporative fuel-purging control system for an internal combustion engine having a canister in which evaporative fuel from a fuel tank is adsorbed. One or more purging control valves are arranged across a purging pipe extending between the canister and an intake system. An ECU integrates an estimated value of a flow rate of evaporative fuel supplied to the engine, which is estimated as a purging flow rate in the purging pipe, in accordance with engine operating conditions when a specific one of the purging control valves is opened to thereby obtain an integrated purging flow rate value, and subtracts a predetermined decremental value from the integrated purging flow rate value when the specific one purging control valve is closed. When the integrated purging flow rate value is equal to or smaller than a predetermined lower limit value, the ECU decreases the flow rate of the evaporative fuel supplied to the intake system, based on the integrated purging flow rate value obtained above. When an air-fuel ratio correction coefficient value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value and at the same time the integrated purging flow rate value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the ECU increases the flow rate, based upon the integrated purging flow rate value.
