Even when a vehicle engine is started after replacement of a throttle actuator or the like without learning a magnetic pole position of a rotor of a brushless motor for driving a throttle valve, engine power can be controlled in a proper manner so that the vehicle can be driven to travel in a safety mode. An air intake amount control apparatus for an engine is equipped with a throttle valve mounted on a rotation shaft in an air intake passage of the engine, a motor having a rotor coupled to the rotation shaft, and a throttle sensor for sensing an opening degree of the throttle valve, so that the throttle valve is controlled by the motor based upon various sorts of engine operating information. The apparatus further includes a rotor magnetic pole position learning unit for driving the motor in a stepwise manner so as to learn a magnetic pole position of the rotor detected by the throttle sensor, a rotor magnetic pole position learned value storing unit for storing therein the rotor magnetic pole position learned value, and a magnetic pole position identifying unit for driving the motor to a predetermined stepwise position so as to identify the magnetic pole position learned value stored in the rotor magnetic pole position learned value storing unit with the magnetic pole position of the motor detected by the throttle sensor.
