ABSTRACT:
A fuel control apparatus comprises a hot-wire type intake air quantity sensor disposed in an air intake passage for an internal combustion engine to detect the quantity of air passing therethrough, a burn-off control section for heating a hot wire at a temperature higher than a temperature in the normal operation, after the engine has been stopped, so as to burn off a deposit on the hot wire, wherein the operation of the burn-off control section is stopped when an output from the sensor exceeds a predetermined value. A signal indicative of a trouble in the sensor can be generated.
