Abstract
Systems and methods for operating an internal combustion engine that may be automatically stopped and started are described. In one example, an engine is rotated in a reverse direction after an engine stop so that a belt integrated starter/generator may rotate the engine in a forward direction and utilize the inertia of the engine to rotate trough top-dead-center compression stroke, thereby starting the engine.
