A method of controlling a tandem solenoid starter for an automotive system is disclosed. The automotive system includes an internal combustion engine and a controller. The controller is configured to automatically stop and start the internal combustion engine. If a start of the internal combustion engine is initiated and the engine speed is higher than zero, an engagement between a pinion of the tandem solenoid starter and an engine flywheel gear is operated on the basis of an estimation of the engine speed at the time of engagement. The engine speed estimation is a function of a current engine speed and a current angular position of a crankshaft of the engine. |
