PURPOSE:To improve starting property without the increase of the capacity of a battery by providing a starting control device for comparing a necessary calorific value calculated by a necessary calorific value calculating means with a determined standard value, energizing a heating means for a determined time when the necessary calorific value is larger than the standard value, and then driving a starter motor. CONSTITUTION:Whether an engine can be started or not is judged by a start possibility judging means 53 on the basis of alcohol concentration in fuel and engine temperature. When start impossibility is judged, then, a necessary calorific value of heating means 23, 24 for accelerating evaporation of the fuel to enable the start is calculated by a necessary calorific value calculating means 56 on the basis of the alcohol concentration and engine temperature. Then, the necessary calorific value of the heating means 23, 24 is compared with a determined standard value by a starting control means 57, and when this necessary calorific Value is larger than the standard value, the heating means 23, 24 are energized for a determined time, and then a starter motor is driven. |
