Abstract
An engine control practices a method for engine control including detecting an overspeed indication selectively settable in the vehicle, responding to the threshold speed operation, and inhibiting response to the throttle control actuation when engine braking is desired. The engine braking may be enabled when said overspeed operation is maintained beyond its detection in combination with continued throttle actuation.
