Abstract
A fuel injection valve is controlled by setting a required injection amount using a required load factor of an engine and a purge correction amount. A purge control valve is controlled using a driving duty based on a required purge ratio when a purge of supplying the evaporated fuel gas to an intake pipe is being executed. During execution of the purge, the purge concentration-related value is learned based on an air-fuel ratio deviation that is a deviation of an air-fuel ratio from a required air-fuel ratio. The certainty of the purge concentration-related value is estimated using a first counter that reflects a number of times of learning of the purge concentration-related value during a first purge and that does not reflect a number of times of learning of the purge concentration-related value during a second purge.
