Abstract
When an engine is in an idle state and a drive range is selected in transmission (i.e. during idle control), an idle controlling portion of an engine ECU calculates a target power for controlling a power of the engine to keep it constant, and outputs the calculated target power to an engine controlling portion. The engine controlling portion controls the power of the engine based on the target power calculated by the idle controlling portion during idle control.
