(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] When starting an engine while driving with an engine stopped and connecting a power interrupting mechanism, useless fuel consumption and generation of exhaust gas until the power interrupting mechanism is connected. Reduce. SOLUTION: While traveling with the engine stopped, If there is a start request to use the engine as a drive source (YES in S1), in steps S2 to S5, The engine is cranked by the starter without supplying fuel to the engine, and the engine speed N While controlling the torque of the starter so that e becomes equal to the input shaft rotation speed NIin which is the synchronous rotation speed, Ne = Nin Then, after the engagement of the clutch C2 is completed, in other words, after the engine is connected to the drive wheels via the power interrupting mechanism, fuel injection control for the engine is started in step S7, and the engine is rotated by an explosion. |
