Abstract

An engine control apparatus having a microcomputer which controls an operating condition modifying means to modify the operating condition of the engine, wherein the absolute value .DELTA.C of the difference, C.sub.now -C.sub.old is calculated from a previously obtained basic amount of control C.sub.old, and a newly obtained basic amount of control C.sub.now, a correction coefficient K is determined which takes a value of 1 to nearly 0 as the .DELTA.C is increased, and then the C.sub.set of EQU C.sub.set =K.times.(C.sub.now -C.sub.old)+C.sub.old is calculated as an actual basic amount of control.
