Abstract

The engine control device comprises a basic target torque-deciding part for deciding a basic target torque based on a driving state of a vehicle, a torque reduction amount-deciding part for deciding a torque reduction amount based on a steering wheel operation state, an TCM for deciding a torque-down demand amount, based on a driving state of the vehicle other than the steering wheel operation state, and a final target torque-deciding part for deciding a final target torque, based on the decided basic target torque, the decided torque reduction amount and the decided torque-down demand amount, wherein the final target torque-deciding part is operable, when there is a torque-down demand, to restrict a change in the final target torque corresponding to a change in the torque reduction amount.
