Abstract
A control device for an engine includes an accelerator opening detector for detecting an opening of an accelerator, a target acceleration setter for setting a target acceleration of a vehicle based on the accelerator opening detected by the accelerator opening detector, and an engine controller for adjusting an engine torque to achieve the target acceleration set by the target acceleration setter. When the accelerator opening is increased from a state where the target acceleration is set to zero, the target acceleration setter sets the target acceleration according to the accelerator opening to produce a highest jerk in the vehicle at an accelerator opening that is larger by 5 to 10% than an accelerator opening corresponding to the state where the target acceleration is set to zero.
