Abstract:
The application discloses a control device and a control method for an engine. The control device includes an electronic control unit configured to execute a stop-and-start control of automatically stopping the engine when a predetermined automatic stop condition is established and automatically restarting the engine when a predetermined automatic-restart condition is established during the automatic stop of the engine, and in a case where the automatic-restart condition is established during fuel cut-off according to the automatic stop of the engine, prohibit detection of the toothless part based on the pulse signal output from the crank angle sensor, for a period until the crankshaft is rotated by a predetermined crank angle or more after the automatic-restart condition is established.

Claim (Index 1):
A control device for an engine that includes a crank angle sensor and a timing rotor provided on a crankshaft of the engine, the timing rotor being provided with a plurality of teeth and a toothless part where at least one of the teeth is not provided on an outer periphery of the timing rotor, the crank angle sensor being configured to output a pulse signal according to passing of the teeth of the timing rotor,\n the control device comprising an electronic control unit configured to:\n execute a stop-and-start control of automatically stopping the engine when a predetermined automatic stop condition is established and automatically restarting the engine when a predetermined automatic-restart condition is established during the automatic stop of the engine; and \n when the automatic-restart condition is established during fuel cut-off according to the automatic stop of the engine, prohibit detection of the toothless part of the timing rotor based on the pulse signal output from the crank angle sensor, for a period until the crankshaft is rotated by a predetermined crank angle or more after the automatic-restart condition is established.
