My ECU is the "JDE" stickered FADEC ECU sold with the Wren kits. I havent a clue what JDE has been selling currently with the engine kits, as I bought mine back in April of this year. The ECU I have is NOT capable of fully auto start, but a semi-auto start. At the time, I wanted to get a full autostart system, but Dennis at JDE told me he was not interested in a fully auto start MW54 as the fully auto stuff was too tempermental and some other reasons. I said no problem and bought what I got now. The ECU does work very well, and offers a decent set of parameters you can change to fine tune start up and ramping. My engine exhaust runs at approx.600 degrees during startup, no flaming. I did have the ramping set a bit slow at first and took some fiddling to get the start sequence right on. But now it is fast and easy, and never a hot start.

I will get a full autostart on my next engine however, to try the difference. For this one, I like what I have now, it works well and I am very used to it.
