Abstract
In start control for controlling an engine, a motor, and a clutch, a target throttle valve opening degree is set based on a rotational speed of the motor and a coolant temperature of the engine to control the engine such that the clutch is half-engaged to crank the engine by the motor, and fuel injection and ignition of the engine are started after a rotational speed difference between the rotational speed of the motor and a rotational speed of the engine becomes smaller than a threshold value and the clutch is engaged.
