Abstract
An internal combustion engine includes a fuel tank, a fuel injection valve, a fuel passage, a shut-off valve disposed in the fuel passage, and a pressure sensor that detects a passage fuel pressure that is a pressure of fuel in a portion of the fuel passage between the shut-off valve and the fuel injection valve. The controller outputs a valve closing signal to the shut-off valve, and executes a determination process of determining whether the shut-off valve is stuck open based on a decrease amount of the passage fuel pressure that occurs until an elapsed period after the valve closing signal is output reaches a predetermined specified period. The controller excludes, from the elapsed period, a period in which a fuel cutoff process for stopping fuel injection by the fuel injection valve during operation of the internal combustion engine is executed.
