Abstract

In a method of and system for controlling an idling speed in an electronically controlled engine, wherein the idling speed is feedback-controlled in accordance with the operating condition of the engine, an idling speed feedback process and an engine speed upper limit setting process are prohibited when a vehicle speed detecting system has failed, so that erroneous control of the idling speed can be prevented from occurring during running of a vehicle.
