Abstract

See full text

A device for starting an engine includes a starter for starting the engine and an ECU for controlling the starter. The starter includes a pinion gear structured to engage with a ring gear coupled to a crankshaft of the engine, an actuator for moving the pinion gear to an engagement position with the ring gear, and a motor for rotating the pinion gear. The ECU can individually control each of the actuator and the motor. The ECU holds such a state that the motor is stopped and the actuator is driven during a stand-by period until a reference condition is satisfied after completion of start of the engine. Thus, when the engine stopped immediately after start, the engine can quickly be re-started.
