Abstract
When a start request for an internal combustion engine is made with 1) a clutch disconnected, 2) a crankshaft rotating at a specified rotation speed or greater, and 3) fuel injection by an injector stopped, a controller for a vehicle executes: a first process that identifies, from the cylinders, a target cylinder that is in a compression stroke when the request is made; a second process that calculates a requested injection position based on the rotation speed; a third process that calculates, as a start crank position, a rotation position of the crankshaft advanced from the requested injection position by a specified rotation amount; and a fourth process that outputs a command signal that instructs a target injector to inject fuel at the crank position only if the rotation position of the crankshaft obtained when the request is made is advanced from the crank position.
