Abstract
A start control system for an internal combustion engine which is capable of automatically restarting the engine while ensuring excellent startability and fuel economy of the engine, and permits reduction of the size of the system, to reduce the weight and manufacturing costs of the system. An electric motor drives an oil pump. An accumulator accumulates oil pressure delivered from the oil lamp. A hydraulic motor is connected to the accumulator via oil passage and driven by the oil pressure accumulated in the accumulator, for starting the engine. An electromagnetic valve is arranged across the oil passage, for controlling supply of oil pressure to the hydraulic motor. An ECU controls operation of the oil pressure supply control valve to thereby cause the hydraulic motor to start the engine.
