Abstract
A stalling preventing appartus for an engine comprising intake air amount increasing means for increasing the amount of intake air to the engine from idling condition when the vehicle is in a start preparation condition, and rotation speed increase prevention means for preventing the engine speed from increasing due to the increase in intake air amount by the intake air amount increasing means, operation of the intake air amount increasing means and the rotation speed increase prevention means being stopped when the vehicle is in a start preparation condition, whereby a sufficient amount of air is supplied to the engine at starting of the vehicle and a delay in response of the air intake system to the pressing-down operation of the acceleration pedal is eliminated to increase the output torque of the engine at clutch-on and prevent engine stalling.
