Vehicle engine starting apparatus of automatically restarting an engine by quickly responding to a subsequent engine restart request even if engagement of a pinion gear with a ring gear is failed in the process of a stop of the engine. Pinion gear is displaced such that the pinion gear is engaged with the ring gear at a timing (when rotation speed of the pinion gear and rotation speed of the engine are nearly synchronized with each other with a signal from a control device when a predetermined condition is met. Where an engagement sensor has transmitted a signal 'H' indicating engagement failure, when restart of the engine becomes necessary, the pinion gear is displaced toward a ring gear side by the control device.

Vehicle engine starting apparatus

In connection with an intermediate anchoring of a manipulation cable connecting between a manipulation side and an actuation side of an automobile transmission mechanism, an intermediate anchoring bracket of the manipulation cable is provide integral with the starter . Specifically, a front bracket of the starter , which is attached to a transmission block with a high positional accuracy according to an original purpose of improving engagement between a ring gear and a pinion , and the anchoring bracket defining the intermediate anchoring point position of the manipulation cable are formed integral. By merely attaching the starter to the transmission mechanism block with a small number of parts, an accurate positioning of the anchoring bracket with respect to an actuation point is realized, thereby, a positional accuracy between the intermediate anchoring point position and the actuation point can be improved.
