A power supply to various electric accesaries of a vehicle is stopped when an instruction of engine starting is given after a engine key switch is turned on. An excitation current of an electromagnetic switch of an engine starter increases gradually with time and after checking various conditions necessary to start the engine therafter, the supply of the excitation current is blocked until a completion of engine starting is decided when the checking shows some problem on engine start and a power supply to the various electric accessaries is allowed after a completion or blocking of the excitation current.

A method of starting an engine automatically comprising the steps of stopping a current supply to electrical accessaries of a vehicle when an engine start instruction is given after a power source is connected by a key switch and starting an exciting current supply to an electromagnetic switch of an engine starter such that the exciting current supplied to said electromagnetic switch increases gradually, checking various conditions necessary to start the engine before said electromagnetic is closed, continuing the gradually increasing exciting current supply to said electromagnetic switch when said conditions are satisfied to close said electromagnetic switch to thereby supply a current to said starter so that the engine is started thereby and terminating said exciting current when a completion of engine start is confirmed, stopping said exciting current for a time including a time period for which said checking step is executed and ending at a time when said completion of engine start is not confirmed, and allowing a current supply to said accessaries after the termination or the stopping of said exciting current.
