Abstract
In a Diesel engine with a Bosch-type fuel pump or the like having a control lever which determines the fuel injection quantity, idling speed is controlled by a movable stopper which abuts the control lever to place a lower limit on fuel injection quantity during idling. A control unit derives a target idling speed value according to engine temperature, electrical load, etc. and controls the pneumatic actuator of the stopper in accordance with the difference between actual engine speed during idling and the target idling speed. When the engine is not idling, the pneumatic actuator may be controlled to act as a dashpot, damping the return of the control lever to its idling position. Electromagnetically controlled valves respond to the control unit by providing atmospheric pressure or negative pressure to the pneumatic actuator. An auxiliary valve is provided for bypassing a defective atmospheric pressure supplying valve.
