A method for advanced crank spark with blend spark retard for an internal combustion engine includes the steps of selecting whether a spark in an engine cylinder will be fired on a normal or an advanced crank reference edge during an engine start mode, firing the spark on the advanced crank reference edge during the engine start mode if the advanced crank reference edge is selected, firing the spark on the normal crank reference edge if the normal crank reference edge is selected, checking if an engine speed is greater than a predetermined number of revolutions per minute (RPM), continuing to select whether to fire the spark on the normal crank reference edge or the advanced crank reference edge if the engine speed is less than the predetermined RPM, and retarding the spark from a first spark level to a hold start level at a predetermined rate, holding the spark at the hold spark level for a hold period, and advancing the spark to the first spark level at the predetermined rate, if the engine speed is greater than the predetermined RPM.
