A system for automatically overriding operator control of engine power delivered to the drive wheels of a motor vehicle when a wheel slip condition is detected during vehicle acceleration. A pneumatic actuator in the engine fuel control circuit is operated in a controlled manner to cause the engine fuel lever to initially decrease power at a relatively fast rate and then at a relatively slow rate to alleviate the wheel slip. Once the wheel slip condition is corrected, the actuator is reset in a controlled manner, which allows the fuel lever to restore engine power, initially at a relatively fast rate and subsequently at a relatively slow rate, such rate controlled adjustment of engine power during each wheel slip control cycle providing less cyclic control of the wheel slip correction process, and accordingly a smoother acceleration.
