In many cases, intake and/or exhaust valves and fuel injector plungers are desirably placed in a predetermined condition prior to starting the engine. In hydraulic systems, leakage and thermal contraction can lead to pressure loss during a period of non-operation, thereby allowing the components to move away from the predetermined condition. Similar concerns arise with the use of residual electromagnetic force, which can decay over time. In the case of intake/exhaust valves, for example, such undesired movement can led to a potential collision between the valves and the engine piston during starting. This invention provides a system and method for presetting the engine and/or the components thereof to the predetermined condition just prior to starting the engine.
