Abstract
In method and apparatus for automatically stopping an engine idling for an automotive vehicle, a vehicular velocity it detected, a brake manipulated variable of a brake manipulator is detected, the brake manipulated variable is compared with a predetermined criterion to determine whether a brake manipulator is operated, the engine is stopped when the vehicular velocity is detected to be zero and the brake manipulator is determined to be operated, the engine is re-stated when an operation of the brake manipulator is released the brake manipulated variable is determined after the vehicular velocity is zero and the brake manipulator is operated, and the predetermined criterion is updated on the basis of the learning value.
