Engine starting control apparatus

摘要

An engine starting control apparatus that causes a crankshaft of an engine to rotate reversely to a predetermined position immediately after the engine is stopped to make preparations for next starting of the engine. This action is performed in order to prevent firing by useless ignition upon forward rotation of the crankshaft when the engine is started again. When the engine restarted, the engine starting control apparatus causes the engine to rotate forwardly from the predetermined position. The apparatus includes a starter motor connected to the crankshaft, a reverse rotation means capable of rotating the engine reversely to a predetermined position, an ignition device for igniting the engine in the proximity of the top dead center of a piston, and an ignition suppression device for inhibiting the ignition of the engine for a predetermined period of time after the forward rotation of the engine.
