ABSTRACT:
A system, capable of determining an engine abnormality, is disclosed. The engine includes a first regulator for controlling air fuel ratio and a second regulator for controlling the purging amount of fuel vapor into an air-intake passage from a fuel tank. The variance in the purging amount effects the air fuel ratio. An engine control unit computes a parameter value used to control the air fuel ratio based on a signal from a detector which detects the operational condition of the engine, and controls the first regulator with the computed parameter value to allow the operational condition of the engine to approach a requested condition. A determining apparatus determines that an abnormality has occurred in the engine when the parameter value computed by the control unit continuously deviates from a predetermined numerical range for a predetermined period of time. The determining apparatus also automatically adjusts the numerical range in accordance with a degree of influence of the variance in the purging amount on the air fuel ratio.
