Abstract
There is provided an engine controller that prevents the engine operation from being continued due to a throttle valve recovery failure. When a throttle lever is in the unoperated state and the engine revolution higher than a set revolution has remained for a set duration, the engine controller decides that the recovery failure of a throttle valve has occurred and performs a control to stop the operation of the engine. This prevents the engine operation from being continued against the will of the operator in the event that the throttle valve fails to recover. When the engine is used as a motor of a vehicle, for example, the running of the vehicle can be stopped, thus assuring a higher safety.
