Claim One:
1. A system for detecting abnormality of a combustion engine having a fuel injector, the system having a table provided with a plurality of divisions each of which storing a coefficient, detector means for detecting the operating condition of the engine and for producing a feedback signal dependent on the condition, a calculator for producing a basic fuel injection pulse width in accordance with engine operating conditions, corrector means for correcting the basic fuel injection pulse width by a coefficient derived from the table and by the feedback signal, updating means for updating coefficients in the table with values relative to the feedback signal, and abnormal coefficient detector means, the abnormal coefficient detector means comprising: first means for determining a number of updating times larger than a predetermined first number of times and for producing a first signal; second means responsive to the first signal for determining a fact that a number of divisions in which each coefficient is out of a predetermined limit range is larger value than a predetermined second number, and for producing a second signal; third means responsive to the second signal for determining a fact that a coefficient exceeding the limit range in a particular division is updated a number of times more than a predetermined number of times, and for producing an abnormality signal; holding means responsive to the abnormality signal for holding all of coefficients in the table to a standard value.
