Certain embodiments of the present invention include an internal combustion engine (10) control method. In the method, a control apparatus (30) determines a target RPM of the internal combustion engine (10) based on an operational amount of an operating member independent of fluctuations in a load of the internal combustion engine (10). The control apparatus (30) performs control such that an actual output RPM is close to the target RPM. The control apparatus (30) performs a temporary increase control in which the target RPM is temporarily increased with respect to a basic target RPM previously determined in correspondence with the operational amount. There is performed an acceleration control in which the target RPM is gradually increased at an increase rate equal to or greater than a predetermined increase rate. In a state in which the temporary increase control and the acceleration control are performed simultaneously, when the temporary increase control is later canceled, the control apparatus (30) sets an increase rate of the target RPM at a level equal to or greater than an increase rate of the basic target RPM. The basic target RPM corresponds to the operational amount so that the target RPM does not become lower than a present RPM. The target RPM and the basic target RPM are thereby gradually matched with each other. |
