Abstract
An idling speed control system for controlling idling rotational speed of an internal combustion engine. A vacuum-operated actuator having a diaphragm defining a vacuum chamber controls opening and closing of a throttle valve in an intake passage of the engine in response to first and second control pressures supplied from a change-over control valve to the vacuum chamber. An electronic control unit generates an on-off control pulse signal having a period corresponding to the rotational speed of the engine, one of on-period and off-period of the on-off control pulse signal having a predetermined constant value, and supplies the change-over control valve with the on-off control pulse signal, in response to which the change-over control valve supplies the vacuum chamber of the vacuum-operated actuator, selectively, with the first control pressure and the second control pressure, determines the engine rotational speed and a rate of decrease in the engine rotational speed, and halts the control for a predetermined period of time when the determined engine rotational speed falls within a predetermined range and at the same time the determined rate of decrease in the engine rotational speeds falls within a predetermined range.
