Abstract
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.
