Abstract
In an engine output control apparatus including an engine output control means for controlling the output of an engine, an electric motor for driving the means, and a motor control means for controlling the electric motor commensurate with the state of operation of an accelerator pedal, a method of controlling the output of the engine, comprising: obtaining an engine torque target (Te) commensurate with the state of operation of the accelerator pedal; calculating a target amount of engine control (.theta.t) based on the engine torque target (Te) and an engine speed (Ne); and controlling the engine output control means by the electric motor so as to meet with the target amount of engine control (.theta.t).
