Starting control apparatus for internal combustion engine

A starting control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, comprising:

• an intake pipe for supplying an air-fuel mixture containing air and a fuel to said internal combustion engine which includes a plurality of cylinders;
• a throttle valve mounted internally of said intake pipe for adjusting flow rate of intake air fed to said internal combustion engine;
• a fuel injection valve for charging the fuel into the cylinder of said internal combustion engine;
• a spark plug provided in association with each of said plural cylinders of said internal combustion engine for igniting the air-fuel mixture charged into said cylinder;
• various types of sensors for detecting operating state of said internal combustion engine;
• and
• a control unit for controlling said fuel injection valve and said spark plug in dependence on the operating state of said internal combustion engine upon starting of operation of said internal combustion engine,
• said control unit comprising:
• combustion stroke discriminating means for discriminatively identifying combustion strokes taking place sequentially among said plural cylinders,
• wherein the fuel injection quantity supplied to the individual cylinders of said internal combustion engine and the ignition timing for burning the charged fuel are set variably for said individual combustion strokes, respectively, upon starting of operation of said internal combustion engine.
