Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device for an internal combustion engine capable of giving occupants of a vehicle stable start feeling irrespective of normal start or restart of the internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: When start demand of the internal combustion engine is detected, a threshold PR 1 and fuel pressure P(t 1 ) input from a fuel pressure sensor 14 are compared (step 160). If it is determined that P(t 1 )≤PR 1 is satisfied, a high pressure pump 18 is driven (step 180). If it is determined that P(t 1 )≤PR 1 is not satisfied, it is determined if start time counter is not less than a predetermined value C 1 (step 200). If it is determined that the start time counter is not greater than the predetermined value C 1 , fuel is injected from a fuel injection valve 10 (step 220). If it is determined that the start time counter is less than the predetermined value C 1 , the control device waits until the start time counter gets to the predetermined value C 1 or greater.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle controller which appropriately makes control for ensuring negative pressure in consideration of malfunction of various sensors when ignition timing retarding control is made at an engine start and an intake airflow is being increased to perform an engine warming-up operation and further when interrupting or constraining the ignition timing retard control for recovering negative pressure inside a brake booster. SOLUTION: During the engine warming-up operation and when a signal of the sensor (specifically, a sensor for detecting vehicle movement) is abnormal which is provided for determining whether ensuring of the negative pressure is needed, and the sensor and a communication system are abnormal, a determination that the ensuring of negative pressure is unnecessary is determined to be wrong and then the ignition timing retard control is interrupted or constrained to ensure the negative pressure. On the other hand, when the sensor is detecting noises, the determination that ensuring of the negative pressure is necessary is determined to be wrong and then the ignition timing retarding control is not interrupted or not constrained to continue the ignition timing retarding control, and carries on the engine warming-up operation.
