Abstract
An apparatus for regulating power produced by a motor vehicle engine is disclosed. The apparatus cooperates in association with throttling valves and engine power moderating devices. The apparatus has first detecting device for detecting the operating condition of said engine. The detecting device generates a signal in response to detected engine condition. The apparatus further has a second detecting device for detecting a malfunction in the throttle valves and generates a signal in response to the detected malfunction. A controller functions responsive to the signals generated by the first and second detecting devices for generating first and second engine power values representative of range of engine power in accordance with said operating condition prior to the occurrence of malfunction of the throttle valves. The controller controls the engine power moderating device to moderate engine power based on the first and second engine power values.
