Abstract
An engine control apparatus that effectively suppresses a rise in rotation number of an engine in a jump of a vehicle. An engine control apparatus includes an acceleration detecting device for detecting an acceleration component of gravity acceleration in a perpendicular direction of the vehicle body based on a signal inputted from an acceleration sensor, and a control circuit for judging whether the vehicle has jumped or not based on the acceleration component to be detected. The control circuit suppresses a rise in rotation number of the engine when the vehicle is judged to have jumped.
Claims5
An engine control apparatus comprising:
- an acceleration detecting means for detecting an acceleration component of gravity acceleration in a predetermined direction of a vehicle;
- a jump judging means for judging whether the vehicle has jumped or not on the basis of the acceleration component detected by the acceleration detecting means;
- and
- a rotation number rise suppression processing means for suppressing a rise in rotation number of an engine when the jump judging means judges that the vehicle has jumped.
