Vehicular engine control apparatus

摘要

A vehicular engine control apparatus for a vehicle wherein an engine is automatically stopped upon establishment of a predetermined stop condition, and the engine is restarted from an automatically stopped state upon establishment of a predetermined restart condition, and wherein at the time of restart of the engine, a torque of the engine is transmitted by engaging a predetermined clutch provided in an automatic transmission, comprises: an engine torque control means for controlling the torque of the engine; a torque control determining means (steps 3, 10) for determining whether it is possible to control the torque of the engine by using the engine torque control means; and an engine control means (steps 7, 11) for discontinuing or prohibiting an automatic stop of the engine if it is determined by the torque control determining means (steps 3, 10) that it is impossible to control the torque of the engine. With this construction, the apparatus is able to control or curb an engagement shock of the clutch at the time of a takeoff of the vehicle and therefore a durability deterioration of the clutch.
