An engine automatic control system for vehicles is adapted to automatically stop the engine when the vehicle motion is arrested, to automatically start the engine in response to operation of a starting mechanism for effecting start of the vehicle, and to maintain the engine rotation after start of the vehicle in dependence upon change of the level of speed pulses from a speed sensor assembly. The control system is arranged to be ineffective in its function for automatic stop of the engine when the speed sensor assembly is inoperative to maintain the engine rotation under the operative condition of the control system.

A control system for controlling the operation of a vehicle prime mover comprising: setting means for providing a set signal for control of the operation of said prime mover; a starter control circuit which in its activated condition connects a starter motor of said prime mover to an electric power

A control system for controlling the operation of a vehicle prime mover comprising: setting means for providing a set signal for control of the operation of said prime mover; a starter control circuit which in its activated condition connects a starter motor of said prime mover to an electric power source and in its deactivated condition disconnects said starter motor from said power source; a drive control circuit which in its deactivated condition maintains the operative condition of said prime mover and in its activated condition automatically renders said prime mover inoperative; a mechanism for effecting movement of the vehicle; detecting means for generating an electric signal indicative of motion of the vehicle; and an electric control device including first means for activating said starter control circuit in response to operation of said movement mechanism and for deactivating said starter control circuit in response to operation of said prime mover, second means for maintaining said drive control circuit in its deactivated condition in dependence upon said electric signal from said detecting means and for activating said drive control circuit when the level of said electric signal does not change during a stopping of the vehicle, and means for enabling the performance of the functions of said starter and drive control circuits in response to said set signal and said electric signal from said detecting means and for disabling the performance of the functions of said starter and drive control circuits when the level of said electric signal does not change during movement of the vehicle.
