Engine controlling apparatus

An engine controlling apparatus includes an idle speed setting unit (2a) that sets a target idle speed upon idling of an engine mounted on a vehicle, and a target torque setting unit (2a) that sets a target torque in response to the target idle speed. The apparatus further includes an ignition timing controlling unit (4a) that controls an ignition timing and an intake air amount controlling unit (4b) that controls an intake air amount, and a steering angle detection unit (8) that detects a steering angle. The apparatus further includes a torque value setting unit (3) that sets a torque value in response to the steering angle. The intake air amount controlling unit (4b) controls the intake air amount in response to both the target torque and the torque value. The ignition timing controlling unit (4a) controls the ignition timing so that the engine outputs the target torque.
