ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a self-diagnosis apparatus in which when detecting a supply abnormally (i.e., failure to lead fuel evaporation gas into an intake passage), the abnormality can be accurately detected, taking into consideration variations in the fuel gas density (variations in the ambient temperature, variations in the volatility of the fuel, and etc.) due to the residual air in a fuel tank. In the apparatus, the amount of flow of the gas from the fuel tank to a canister can be detected, and a control circuit controls a purge valve to close a fuel gas discharge passage, and in this condition the control circuit detects the amount of flow of the gas from the fuel tank to the canister. When this flow amount exceeds a set value, the control circuit controls the purge valve to close and open the discharge passage, and judges in accordance with a change in an air-fuel ratio detected at this time by an O.sub.2 sensor whether or not any abnormality exists. If the control circuit judges by this judgment that there exists abnormality, the set value of the gas flow amount is set to a value greater than said set value, and the abnormality judgment is again effected. Then, if this judgment result still indicates that abnormality exists, a warning lamp is turned on to give warning.
