Abstract:
A vehicle includes an engine, a transmission, a clutch, and a controller. The clutch is configured to couple the engine and transmission during engine starts. The controller is programmed to, in response to an actual engine start time being greater than an upper threshold time for an engine start event, alter an engine start torque apply schedule for the clutch such that the actual engine start time is less than the upper threshold time for a next engine start event. The controller may be further programmed to, in response to the actual engine start time being less than a lower threshold time for the engine start event, alter the engine start torque apply schedule for the clutch such that the actual engine start time is greater than the lower threshold time for the next engine start event.

Claim (Index 3):
The vehicle of  claim 2 , wherein the actual engine start time is defined by a time period beginning with initial contact of the clutch and ending with the engine obtaining a first firing top dead center position, and the upper and lower threshold times define a target time range for the time period.
