Abstract
A starting control apparatus for an internal combustion engine capable of ensuring proper starting performance with a fuel injection quantity of a lean air-fuel ratio while reducing HC discharge quantity in an engine start phase with high reliability. During a period from the start of cranking to occurrence of complete explosion in the engine starting phase, the fuel injection quantity charged to individual cylinders on a cylinder-by-cylinder basis and the ignition timing for igniting the fuel are properly set for each of the individual combustion strokes taking place sequentially among plural cylinders. An optimal combination of the fuel injection quantity and the ignition timing is realized for thereby producing required torque just enough in the individual combustion strokes.
