Engine Start-Up Controller

摘要

A start-up controller of an engine includes a shift-position detector (32), a first setter (4a) and a limit controller (5). The shift-position detector (32) detects whether a position (R NG ) of a select lever of an automatic transmission (26) is in a driving range. The first setter (4a) determines a limit rotation rate (Ne LIM_H ) based on the position (R NG ) detected by the shift-position detector (32) at start-up of the engine (10) as a limit of the rotation rate of engine. The limit rotation rate (Ne LIM _ H ) is determined lower when the position (R NG ) is in the driving range compared to when the position (R NG ) is not in the driving range. A limit controller (5) performs limit control for controlling the actual rotation rate (Ne) of the engine so as not to exceed the limit rotation rate (Ne LIM _ H ) determined by the first setter (4a). Such a configuration prevents revving-up of the engine at start-up while improving the start-up performance.
