Abstract
An evaporative emission control system for an internal combustion engine, in which fuel vapors generated in a fuel reservoir are stored in a fuel vapor storage canister when the engine is stopped so that the fuel vapors may be used when the engine is in operation. A purge control valve is disposed on a discharge port of the canister. The purge control valve is designed so that it is not opened unless a temperature of the engine exceeds a level above a predetermined threshold even when the engine is in operation. When the engine is operated at a low temperature, the stored fuel vapors in the canister are not released for stabilization in the air-fuel ratio of a mixture fed to the engine, and when the engine is operated at a high temperature, the stored fuel vapors are released into the engine to effectively consume the fuel.
