receiving a start request in an engine system having an internal combustion engine (ICE);

sending a signal, based on receiving the start request, to an engine phaser to open identified intake and exhaust valves creating a pathway through the ICE;

sending a signal, based on receiving the start request, to an electric motor to rotate an electric turbine (eTurbine) to move air in a direction out of the manifold thereby creating a vacuum through the pathway in the ICE and moving air out of the manifold;

receiving a signal from a manifold air pressure (MAP) sensor indicative of a measured pressure in the manifold;

determining whether the measured pressure in the manifold satisfies a threshold, the threshold corresponding to a reduced pressure in the manifold suitable to reduce emissions at startup of the ICE;

sending a signal to the electric motor to stop rotating the eTurbine based on the measured pressure satisfying the threshold;

sending a signal to the ePhaser to return the intake and exhaust valves to a start position; and

sending a signal, based on the measured pressure satisfying the threshold, to the engine system to crank the ICE.
