Consider a stiff system of ordinary differential equations for which one of the initial values is unknown. We develop an efficient procedure to determine the unknown initial value in such a way that the solution of the system does not have an initial transient. The procedure works and is meaningful only if the Jacobian matrix of the system has exactly one stiff eigenvalue. We apply the procedure to the solution of a problem in the physics of the upper ionosphere.
