Patent ID: 7380537

Claim:
A control apparatus for a vehicle incorporating an internal combustion engine, having a first fuel supply system supplying fuel to first fuel injection means for injecting fuel into a cylinder and a second fuel supply system supplying fuel to second fuel injection means for injecting fuel into an intake manifold, and a driving force source other than said internal combustion engine, comprising: driving force ratio control means for controlling a ratio of driving force generated by said internal combustion engine and by said driving force source in accordance with an operation state; and fuel injection control means for controlling a fuel injection ratio between said first fuel injection means and said second fuel injection means with respect to a total fuel injection quantity in said internal combustion engine; wherein said fuel injection control means includes startup-time injection control means for setting a ratio of a quantity of the fuel injected from said second fuel injection means to the total fuel injection quantity near 100% when said internal combustion engine is started in association with start of operation of said vehicle, and said driving force ratio control means includes means for instructing said driving force source to generate driving force corresponding to the driving force required for said vehicle as a whole, when a fuel pressure in said second fuel supply system is lower than a required level.
