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 response to pressures suppliedfrom a change-over control valve to the vacuum chamber. The change-over control valve selectively supplies the vacuum chamber with a first control pressure for opening the throttle valve and a second control pressure for closing same. An electronic control unit generates an on-off control pulse signal having a pulse repetition period corresponding to rotational speed of the engine, one of on-period or 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. The electronic control unit is adapted to gradually increase the on-off pulse control signal when the engine rotational speed is in a first region higher than a predetermined idling rotational speed region, and gradually decrease the one of the on-period and off-period of the on-off control pulse signal when the rotational speed is in a second region lower than the predetermined idling rotational speed region.
