Abstract
In an apparatus for diagnosing an abnormality in a fuel injection system in which an injection quantity is feedback-controlled by adjusting a first air-fuel ratio correction value so that an air-fuel ratio is equal to a target air-fuel ratio. The injection quantity is also adjusted by a second air-fuel ratio correction value. When the first air-fuel ratio correction value has reached a first upper limit value, the second air-fuel ratio correction value is set to a second upper limit value. When the first air-fuel ratio correction value has reached a second lower limit value, the second air-fuel ratio correction value is set to a second lower limit value. When the first air-fuel ratio correction value is outside of a predetermined range when a predetermined time has elapsed after the second air-fuel ratio correction value is set to either the second upper limit value or the second lower limit value, it is determined that a fault has occured in the fuel injection system.
