ABSTRACT:
An engine control apparatus in which, when it is detected by a starter switch that a starter has changed-over from a drive state into a non-drive state, an ECU (engine control unit) predicts a time period in which an engine is completely stopped, on the basis of a revolution speed of the engine at that time, so as to turn OFF an output of a starting motor relay for the predicted period.
