Restart device for internal combustion engines

A vehicle control device includes a function that can control the drive torque of a starting device to an arbitrary value, a detection unit for positive rotation which is a function to detect whether an engine rotates positively, and / or a function to detecting whether the engine does not rotate oppositely, having. The control device also has an idling stop function to increase the driving torque of the starting device, when the detection unit for the positive rotation detected that the combustion engine rotates positively or does not rotate in opposite directions. Accordingly, the problems of malfunctions, such are. B. a reduction in the system voltage, an abnormal wear of a brush in a starter motor and a breakage of a semiconductor switch, released that are found in a conventional vehicle control device having the idle stop function and which are caused by the flowing of an overcurrent when the starter is driven during the overshoot that occurs immediately before the stop of the engine.
