ABSTRACT:
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.
