Patent ID: 7316219

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, comprising: 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; intermittent operation control means for automatically stopping said internal combustion engine temporarily when a prescribed condition is satisfied after start of operation of said vehicle; and first pressure release control means for controlling first pressure release means that is configured to guide the fuel in said first fuel supply system to a pressure release path when actuated; wherein said first pressure release control means prohibits actuation of said first pressure release means when said internal combustion engine is in an automatically stopped state by said intermittent operation control means, and said fuel injection control means includes first startup-time injection control means for setting a ratio of a quantity of the fuel injected from said first fuel injection means to the total fuel injection quantity near 100% when said internal combustion engine is restarted from said automatically stopped state.
