Abstract

A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a gain determination module, a desired torque determination module, and an engine operation control module. The gain determination module determines a gain based on a desired speed of an engine and a change rate of an actual speed of the engine. The desired torque determination module determines a desired torque based on the gain and a difference between the actual speed and the desired speed. The engine operation control module controls at least one of a throttle area, a spark timing, and a fueling rate based on the desired torque.
