I am sorry that I did not elaborate on my history with the engine.

I think I heard somewhere that the version 1 ignitor was only good for a few dozen starts, I purchased mine with around 40 on it, Over the next few months the good to bad start ratio became more and more unfavorable. During my last outing the ignitor failed, I don't actually have proof it was the ignitor but I made about 10 start attempts over the course of 5 hours and gave up, Assuming it was. Then Me and BigBri converted to gas start.

When I purchased the engine in Oct 09' I got good starts with an occasional miss, Maybe 1 in 10. This ratio tells me that the system is correct but due to XYZ (perhaps my extra long ECU leads) every once in a while it wouldn't start. Im sure there are others in similar situations that may miss a start here and there. Thats where my interest in the abort logic came from.

It just confuses me, If voltage is allocated to the pump with the ignitor hot but no EGT rise is detected why isn't the start aborted right away? Why pump fuel for so long?

Anyway thanks for the help guys and the document you copied David.
