I'm not a big fan of starting fluid at all. Not in the least. It dissipates the oil that should've been smeared on the housings to protect all the seals upon startup.

Ever see someone use ether on a diesel engine? It generally kills the engine after a few times becuase it just wipes the oil off the valves and the rings.

here are some data logs. I'm still working out an issue I have with the ecu... for some reason it's not understanding to record the WB properly... Though I was no where near lean in any of the attempts to start.

The Comma Delimited Files (for when you import them into excel or another spread sheet) are setup as this: year/month/day/time. I grabbed the earliest one recorded as well as some others that are prevalent throughout the night of starting.

what I've noticed is that after I have it start I have to wait at least 5 minutes before attempting to start it again, else it won't actually catch and rev up to 1k. Beyond that, I'll let the datalogs speak for themselves.

EDIT: I've also confirmed my suspicion; I've installed my secondary injectors in my primary position and my primary injectors in my secondary position. So instead of having (550/720) I have (720/550). Opps. I'll correct that grievous error tomorrow. Think that has anything to do with my logs? Or will fixing those actually accomplish anything?

It seems plausible that having larger-than-expected injectors in the primary position could cause the motor to flood every time you try to start it.
