Abstract
An engine start controller includes an injection amount calculating portion that is configured to calculate, as an assist injection amount, an injection amount of fuel injected from a fuel injection valve of an engine in an engine start-up period until the engine rotation speed exceeds a predetermined starting rotation speed from zero. The injection amount calculating portion is configured such that, in a case in which the rotation speed of the engine is higher than or equal to a threshold value that is a value less than the starting rotation speed, the injection amount calculating portion calculates the assist injection amount to be smaller when the engine is started by using the motor generator than when the engine is started by using the starter.
