Abstract:
A starting control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, that rotates said internal combustion engine, which internal combustion engine is connected via a damper with a rotating shaft of a motor driven by a battery, so as to start said internal combustion engine, said starting control apparatus comprising:a startability detection unit that detects a parameter relating to startability of said internal combustion engine;a device which is configured to determine a target output torque of the motor; andan output torque restricting unit that restricts a maximum value of the target output torque of said motor for rotating said internal combustion engine to a smaller value in response to lower startability of said internal combustion engine specified from the parameter detected by said internal combustion engine startability detection unit.
