Electronic (uC ccontrolled) ignition

[Shane Eric Taylour]

Hi,

Does anyone know how the ignition timing is done on distributorless
ignition systems when cranking the engine? How is the ignition timed when
the crank is not turning over at constant revs? 

It may take several attempts at cranking the engine before the ignition
fires. How then, do any reference marks on the crankshaft/flywheel apply
when starting?

Any thoughts on the subject appreciated.

Best Regards,

Shane,
