1. A control system of an engine in which a purge gas containing evaporated fuel desorbed from a canister is supplied to an intake passage of the engine, the control system comprising:

  • an exhaust emission control catalyst provided in an exhaust passage of the engine;

    a purging unit including a purge line and a purge valve for performing a purge to supply the purge gas to the intake passage of the engine during a deceleration fuel cutoff; and

    a processor configured to execute;

    a deceleration fuel cutoff module for performing the deceleration fuel cutoff to stop a fuel supply from an injector to the engine when a predetermined deceleration fuel cutoff condition is satisfied in a decelerating state of the engine;

    an evaporated fuel supply amount estimating module for estimating a supply amount of the evaporated fuel to the intake passage when the purge is performed; and

    a catalyst temperature estimating module for estimating a temperature of the exhaust emission control catalyst when the purge is performed, based on the estimated supply amount of the evaporated fuel; and

    a catalyst temperature increasing amount estimating module for continuously estimating an increasing amount of the temperature of the exhaust emission control catalyst when unburned evaporated fuel accumulated in the exhaust emission control catalyst by the purge is assumed to have entirely combusted at once,wherein the purging unit controls a supply flow rate of the purge gas to the intake passage when the purge is performed, based on the estimated temperature of the exhaust emission control catalyst, andwherein while the purge is performed, the purging unit stops the purge once the estimated increasing amount of the temperature of the exhaust emission control catalyst exceeds a preset value.
