ABSTRACT:
A device for detecting a malfunction of a fuel evaporative purge system comprises a pressure sensor for detecting gas pressure in a purge passage connecting a canister to an intake pipe, and an intake vacuum sensor for detecting a negative pressure in the intake pipe. In the purging condition, the device determines whether the obtained relationship between the detected negative pressure in the purge passage and the detected intake vacuum is within a predetermined area and judges that a malfunction has occurred in the system when the relationship is not within the predetermined area.
