<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To certainly start an engine. <P>SOLUTION: When the engine does not completely explode within a predetermined time after engine start by driving a starter motor and a fuel pump (S100 to S104), the driving of the fuel pump is stopped for a predetermined time (for example, 3 sec) and is restarted after a predetermined time (S106 to S110). The driving of the fuel pump is temporarily stopped because repeating of driving and stopping of the fuel pump frequently allows removal of a foreign matter even when the foreign matter intrudes into the fuel pump to cause a starting failure. Thus, the fuel pump is normally driven, so that the engine is started further certainly. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
