    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To start an internal combustion engine for an automobile possible to control to increase an intake air compression ratio before performing the cranking for facilitating a start of the internal combustion engine in the cold temperature condition as quickly as possible without generating vibration and increasing the intake compression ratio as long as capacity of a capacitor as a cranking power source allows. SOLUTION: An effective output of the capacitor for a cranking motor is the predetermined output threshold value showing the excellent capacity condition or more is judged, and when the effective output is more than the predetermined output threshold value, cranking is performed without increasing the intake air compression ratio independently of the engine temperature.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable air-fuel ratio control which can make compatible both the reduction of NOx and the prevention of the generation of catalyst exhaust smell. SOLUTION: At the load operation of an engine for charging a battery during stopping, a target air-fuel ratio is made nearer to a rich side than a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio thereby carrying out the air-fuel ratio control (step S140), whereby an oxygen amount in a three-way catalyst is changed so as to be far from the generation condition of NOx, and the NOx in exhaust gas is reduced. Together with this, by carrying out the air-fuel control for a predetermined time of A second from a charge starting time (steps S130, S150), the generation of the catalyst exhaust smell due to the exhaustion of oxygen in the three-way catalyst can be prevented. Accordingly, in charging of the battery during stopping, the air-fuel ratio control which can make compatible both the reduction of NOx and the prevention of the generation of the catalyst exhaust smell is realized.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a property of engine exhaust in a period when an engine is started under its cold condition and where an effective exhaust emission control function is not effectuated yet in a catalytic converter, by making the best use of a characteristic of a hybrid vehicle combined with engine drive and motor drive. SOLUTION: The engine is operated stably by a warming-up target output Lestart, while output requirement to the vehicle is mainly entrusted to a motor and its fluctuation is exclusively to the motor, until the first stage catalytic converter provided just in a downstream of an exhaust manifold reaches to a prescribed warming-up degree T1. The engine is operated increasing an output increasing speed in response to requirement, while limiting the output increasing speed within an increment ΔLelimit or an increase rate Kelimit, until the second stage catalytic converter reaches to a prescribed warming-up degree T2 after the first stage catalytic converter reaches to the prescribed warming-up degree, or until a time Co estimated as establishment of the condition therein is expected passes, and an amount of fuel is thereafter increased or decreased according to control calculation based on an input data to be operated.
