1. A method for modifying an engine control parameter for engine transients comprising:
- a) processing data values that are correlated with rate of change of engine fueling and rate of change of engine speed and that are indicative of engine transients according to a look-up table that contains multiple data values of an adder, each of which correlates with a corresponding pair of rate-of-change of engine fueling and rate-of-change of engine speed data values to select, from the table, an adder data value correlated with the processed rate of change of engine fueling and the processed rate of change of engine speed data values; and
b) modifying a data value for the control parameter by adding the selected adder data value from the table to the data value for the control parameter.

Abstract
Engine speed data (N) and engine fueling data (MFDES) are processed to develop rate-of change data values for both engine fueling (FUELING_DIFFERENCE_FILTERED) and engine speed (ENGINE SPEED_DIFFERENCE_FILTERED). The latter are processed according to a look-up table (30) to select a data value for an adder (ENGINE SPEED/FUELING_ROC_ADDER). The adder data value is added to the data value of a control parameter, such as engine fueling (MFDES), to compensate for engine transients.
