Xairflyer, Mark, BJ and others

Well, after unsuccessful starts in the airplane again, I removed the entire turbine and accessories from the aircraft and set it up on the bench.

I attempted another start and after 'ignition' was displayed, removed the plug wire and Voila! it continued to cycle as normal. (no 64200rpm)

The glow wire does have a lot of EMI coming off it out to 3-4" from the wire while the ignition cycle is on. using an alternate ground wire from the plug to the case and case to the ECU plug ground cable didn't help.

I confirmed this with a scanner/receiver set to around 500khz. I had a strong signal all along the wire 3-4" away back to about 4-5" from the ECU. The ECU had minimal EMI.-so that's good.

So, at least I know what I'm dealing with-EMI

So, I will re-visit the twisted wires, look for shielding to encapsulate the starter and glow wires. It's probably getting right to the hall effect sensor vs the wiring.

not sure why it all started.

I also changed out the glow plug.
