Abstract

A method for controlling engine revolution per minute (RPM) includes: a frequency deriving process for deriving a frequency from change in engine RPM detected by a detector by a controller during driving of the engine; a frequency conversion process for converting a derivation frequency derived in the frequency deriving process into a conversion frequency via a predetermined conversion process by the controller; a frequency comparison process for comparing an amplitude of the conversion frequency at which engine RPM is to be changed among conversion frequencies converted in the frequency conversion process with an amplitude of a reference frequency pre-inputted to the controller; and a fuel injection amount adjusting process for deriving a correction value based on a result derived in the frequency comparison process, for applying the derived correction value, and for controlling an injector by the controller to adjust a fuel injection amount.
