A first desired engine torque is obtained based on engine speed at slipping of drive wheels of a vehicle. In accordance with the engine speed, and the first desired engine torque, a second desired engine torque is calculated. In response to actual engine torque of an engine and the second desired engine torque, an engine torque reducing quantity is obtained. The number of cylinders supplied with fuel is reduced in accordance with the engine torque reducing quantity, thereby reducing the engine torque of the engine.

System for controlling output of an automotive engine

A system and method for controlling a friction clutch of a motor vehicle wherein conditions of the clutch, an engine, a transmission, and the vehicle are detected. A desired shifting speed for shifting a pressure plate of the clutch is provided based on the detected conditions. An actual shifting speed is estimated based on the desired shifting speed, and a position of the pressure plate is obtained by integrating the actual shifting speed. Speed of the pressure plate is controlled based on the position of the pressure plate.
