Systems and methods for adaptive throttle filtering are disclosed. One method includes receiving vertical acceleration data indicative of a plurality of vertical accelerations of a machine, receiving first throttle pedal data indicative of a plurality of throttle pedal movements, determining a filter factor based at least on the vertical acceleration data, filtering the first throttle pedal data, based at least on the filter factor, to determine second throttle pedal data, and causing the second throttle pedal data to be transmitted to a controller to effectuate control of an operation of an engine.

A first control unit executes a valve stop inertial running including stopping an intake valve and an exhaust valve in a closed state during rotation of an output shaft, stopping supply of fuel to an engine, and setting a clutch in an engaged state to drive pistons of the engine by a rotational force from driving wheels. A second control unit executes a valve operation running including operating the intake valve and the exhaust valve during the rotation of the output shaft, and supplying the fuel to the engine based upon an intake conduit pressure. When a cancellation request is made during execution of the valve stop inertial running, a transient control unit operates the intake valve and the exhaust valve, and controls a throttle valve to an idling opening or less, thereby supplying a negative pressure to an intake passage.

A driving process causes a target angular position of a specific gear in a throttle device to reach an initial position by continuing to increase or decrease the target angular position at a constant speed. A determination process determines that wear has occurred on a gear mechanism in the throttle device based on a parameter related to a change speed of an angular position in a specific range during execution of the driving process. The specific range is a range from a specific angular position to the initial position. The specific angular position is the angular position that is separated from the initial position by a predetermined constant angle.
