Abstract
An engine control device proposed for transmitting a control motion of an accelerator to an actuator of an engine, which includes mechanical transmission means and electrical transmission means with two clearances related to the accelerator. The two clearances are at the beginning and end of the mechanical transmission means so that the accelerator during normal driving can be actuated with particularly small forces, and at the same time reliable restoration of the accelerator is assured. The engine control device is particularly suitable for motor vehicles having traction control as well as travel speed control.
