Abstract

The present invention relates to a start controller for an engine of a vehicle comprising fuel supply means for supplying fuel to the engine at current flowing time, an electric driver for flowing a current to the fuel supply means, control means for holding a specific code, comparing an input code with the specific code to judge the coincidence and instructing to flow a current to the driver when both coincide; and means for inputting the code to the control means. Thus, the start controller can prevent the vehicle from being stolen.

Claims

1. A start controller for an engine of a vehicle comprising:

fuel supply means for supplying fuel to the engine;

electric driving means for supplying a current to the fuel supply means for operating the fuel supply means to supply fuel to the engine;

control means for holding a specific code, comparing an input code with the specific code to judge the coincidence and energizing the electric driver means when the specific code and the input code coincide; and

code input means for inputting the input code to the control means wherein said input means comprises a portable key code oscillator having means for generating a signal including code information and transmitting said signal and a vehicle mounted key code receiver having means for receiving the signal generated and transmitted by the key code oscillator means for detecting input code information included in the signal and providing said input code information to said control means.
