So, this is starting to become more annoying than it was before as it makes for weird starts. Sometimes there's an initial "catch", so I stop cranking, but it was really residual fuel and the injectors still hadn't started firing yet because they were skipping... grrrr... Right now I have a distributor and unfortunately I don't have the time to switch over to a timing wheel as it's a very involved process on my engine. Plus, my distributor setup actually works quite nicely, so I don't know if I really want to start messing with it, especially while I'm trying to work on so many other fuel issues (ego, ve, etc, etc)
Would it be possible to investigate creating an option to allow the user to select "fuel only" or "fuel and spark"? And only if they select "fuel and spark" will the skip pulses option show up.
If the MS2 authors would be so kind to work on this fix (2.5 maybe?), I would really appreciate it. Otherwise, would anyone else be interested in helping me out with this? Not everyone using the MSII chip is doing spark and they shouldn't suffer poor starts because of that...
Thanks!
Mike

Even with fuel-only you still need to skip some pulses to accurately calculate rpm. However, on an initial start I'd agree that the code should be able to go into cranking mode and start shoving some fuel in there.
