Abstract

An engine controlling system for a vehicle is disclosed which is suitable for use with an automobile. When a treadled condition detection signal is developed from an accelerator pedal operated condition detector, a first control amount setting device sets a control amount of an engine output adjusting device in accordance with an operation amount detection signal. When a treadled condition cancelling detection signal is developed from the accelerator pedal operated condition detector, a second control amount setting device sets, if it receives a constant speed running designating signal from a running condition designating device in accordance with a running speed detection signal from a running speed detector, a control amount of the engine output adjusting device necessary to make the running speed of the vehicle equal to an aimed speed. However, if it receives an accelerated running designating signal from the running condition designating device, the second control amount setting device sets a control amount of the engine output adjusting device necessary for the vehicle to accomplish accelerated running.
