    摘要: A combustion state-detecting system for an internal combustion engine is provided, which detects misfires occurring in the engine. A crank angle sensor generates a crank angle signal with a predetermined period shorter than a firing period of the engine whenever the crankshaft rotates through a predetermined angle. An ECU detects the rotational speed of the engine, based on the crank angle signal whenever the crank angle signal is generated to generate a rotational speed signal, and filters the rotational speed signal to extract a specific frequency component therefrom. A rate of variation in the extracted specific frequency component is calculated every first predetermined time period, and an average value of the rate of variation is calculated every second predetermined time period longer than the first predetermined time period. Further, the difference between the average value and the rate of variation is calculated, and absolute values of the difference is cumulated over the second predetermined time period to obtain a difference cumulative value. Then, the difference cumulative value is compared with a predetermined value, and it is determined that the engine is in a continuous degraded combustion state when the difference cumulative value has continued to exceed the predetermined value, and that the engine is in a sporadic degraded combustion state when the difference cumulative value once exceeds the predetermined value once and then becomes smaller than the predetermined value, before it again exceeds the predetermined value.

    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: An evaporative fuel-processing system for an internal combustion engine, in which a first control valve is arranged across an evaporative fuel-guiding passage extending from a fuel tank to a canister, a second control valve across a purging passage extending from the canister to the intake system of the engine, and a third control valve at an air inlet port of the canister, respectively. An ECU generates operation command signals to the first to third control valves for closing or opening the same. The ECU is responsive to an output from a tank internal pressure sensor which detects pressure within the fuel tank and the operation command signals, for detecting an abnormality in operation of a predetermined one of the first to third control valves.

    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.
