A control system for an engine adjusts an engine torque based on an operation of an organ-type accelerator pedal for pivoting about a supporting point. The control system includes an accelerator opening acquiring module for acquiring an accelerator opening, a target acceleration setting module for setting a target acceleration of a vehicle based on the acquired acceleration opening, and an engine control module for adjusting the engine torque to achieve the set target acceleration. The target acceleration setting module sets the target acceleration corresponding to the acquired accelerator opening by using a predetermined range of the accelerator opening including a value at which the target acceleration becomes zero. The predetermined range is set such that a pedal reaction force F (N) applied from a predetermined position of the accelerator pedal when the accelerator opening is within the predetermined range is within a range of 2.5&#x2266;F&#x2266;26.

Control device for engine

A control system for an automatic transmission includes a shift gear mechanism for shifting respective shift gear stages, a shift line map including upshift lines and downshift lines, and a device for detecting a shift timing at which an shift operation should be carried out based on an engine load on the shift line map and a possibility is estimated that a driving condition will return back to the previous shift gear stage. The system also includes an engine load detecting device for detecting a stable condition of the engine load, and a controller for controlling the shift gear mechanism based on the shift line map after the engine load detecting device detects the stable condition of the engine load at the shift timing detected by the shift timing detecting device.

Control system for automatic transmission

In an engine idling speed control system for an internal combustion engine, by feedback controlling increasingly or decreasingly, the amount of intake air fed to the engine with a controlling value variable in accordance with a difference between an actual engine speed and a desired idling speed so as to control the engine to drop speed to the desired idling speed, decreasing variations of the controlling value are restricted to a limit value which is higher when the vehicle is running at a speed higher than a predetermined vehicle creeping speed than when at a running speed lower than the predetermined vehicle creeping speed.
