Patent ID: 7185641

Claim:
A control apparatus of an internal combustion engine for controlling an amount of an evaporated fuel and an amount of an exhaust gas supplied downstream from a throttle valve of an intake pipe, comprising: a compensation control device for controlling an operational state of the internal combustion engine to compensate for a decrease in the supply amount of the evaporated fuel caused by an increase in the supply amount of the exhaust gas, wherein the supply amount of the evaporated fuel is controlled by controlling an opening degree of a purge control valve, and wherein said compensation control device controls the opening degree of the purge control valve to compensate for the decrease in the supply amount of the evaporated fuel caused by the increase in the supply amount of the exhaust gas, and wherein said compensation control device, upon determining that a desired supply amount of evaporated fuel cannot be obtained by the control of the opening degree of the purge control valve, controls the opening degree of the throttle valve to compensate for the decrease in the supply amount of the evaporated fuel.
