Engine control device

An engine control device that controls a fuel injection device including an injector that injects fuel to be supplied to an engine and a fuel pump that supplies the fuel to said injector, and a rotating electric machine that operates as a motor that rotatably drives a crankshaft of said engine at the start of said engine, using a microprocessor, comprising:

• a fuel pump driving portion that starts operating said fuel pump between when an operation permit command to permit the operation of said engine is given and when a start command to start said engine is given, and continuously operates said fuel pump after said start command is given;
• first fuel injection control means for causing said injector to perform first fuel injection at the start of the engine when both conditions are met that said start command is given and that said fuel pump is continuously operated for a set time or longer, or when said start command is given within a set limited time after the continuous operation of said fuel pump for a time longer than said set time is stopped;
• rotating electric machine control means for controlling said rotating electric machine so as to start driving said rotating electric machine as the motor when said first fuel injection is completed, and stop driving said rotating electric machine as the motor when the start of said engine is completed;
• and
• normal state fuel injection control means for causing said injector to perform fuel injection at a predetermined crank angle position of said engine.
