Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for controlling a purging operation of a fuel vapor canister in a boosted engine. One method comprises purging stored fuel vapors from the fuel vapor canister to an inlet of the compressor via an ejector while bypassing a canister purge valve, the ejector being fluidically coupled to the fuel vapor canister by a distinct passage and motive flow through the ejector being regulated by a shut-off valve. The shut-off valve is temporarily closed in response to an operator tip-in event to discontinue the purging operation.
