Abstract

Electric current supply to an actuator is ON-OFF controlled in such a manner that fuel supply quantity is made to be zero on condition that an engine rotation speed reaches a rotation speed less than a predetermined one in a low rotation region and a starter switch is turned OFF, whereby overrun of an engine and reckless run of a vehicle are prevented when a rotation sensor is in an abnormal condition.
