Abstract
An apparatus responsive to a change in the position of an accelerator pedal for controlling movement of a throttle valve situated within an engine induction passage. The apparatus includes a control circuit for determining a demand value corresponding to a setting of the position of the throttle valve in response to an electrical signal indicative of the position of the accelerator pedal. The calculated demand value is modified whenever the speed of movement of the throttle valve exceeds an upper limit determined in accordance with transmission gear position.
