Control device and control method of vehicle

A control device for a vehicle, the vehicle including an engine, the engine including an intake valve, an exhaust valve, a first valve seat corresponding to the intake valve, a second valve seat corresponding to the exhaust valve, a crankshaft, a camshaft and an electric variable valve timing mechanism, the electric variable valve timing mechanism being configured to change a rotational phase of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft so as to change a valve timing of at least either one of the intake valve and the exhaust valve, the control device comprising:

• an electronic control unit configured to:
• perform a crankshaft stop position control to control a rotation stop position of the crankshaft during a stop process of stopping the engine, such that a valve opening degree in which at least either one of a first gap between the intake valve and the first valve seat and a second gap between the exhaust valve and the second valve seat is fully closed or becomes a predetermined gap or more is set as a target valve opening degree;
• and
• operate the electric variable valve timing mechanism until the valve opening degree reaches the target valve opening degree, when the engine stops.
