Abstract: An ERM method is provided that uses a mode of priority, when engine monitoring is performed during a key on. In addition, engine stall and RPM sudden increase are determined based on a revolution per minute (RPM) of an engine. A storage priority decision of a first D_RPM Data associated with the engine stall and a second D_RPM Data associated with the RPM sudden rise is performed and a prioritized one of the first D_RPM Data and the second D_RPM Data is stored as new data of an engine RPM monitoring data memory 30. Further, utilization of ERM data memory is increased by deleting previously stored data, and in particular, second D_RPM Data B1-B10 and first D_RPM Data A1-A10 subdivided after and before the RPM sudden increase and after and before the engine stall are used to more accurately determine causes of the engine stall.
