Abstract
An engine racing detecting apparatus detects engine racing of an engine of a vehicle. The engine racing detecting apparatus includes a rotation-speed acquiring unit, a clutch-state acquiring unit, and an engine-racing determining unit. The rotation-speed acquiring unit acquires a rotation speed of the engine. The clutch-state acquiring unit acquires clutch state indicative of whether a clutch of the engine is ON or OFF. The engine-racing determining unit determines whether the engine races based on the rotation speed when the clutch state indicates that the clutch is OFF.
