Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed which prevents occurrence of an engine stalling in a power train of an automotive vehicle, including an engine and a lock-up type automatic transmission. The apparatus is operative during a braking operation of the vehicle and includes an engine controller to perform an idling speed control for the engine, and a transmission controller to perform a lock-up releasing control for releasing the torque converter from the lock-up mode. When the lock-up releasing control is being performed, the engine controller continuously performs the idling speed control and thereby prevents occurrence of engine stalling.
