When it hiccups, it sounds like the cylinder fires on the upstroke, well advanced of TDC, which stops it dead, right?

I chased this problem until it blew apart the starter. The behavior began after I had replaced the CPS pre-emptively. Not believing a CPS could be that critical, I made some measurements with a scope, shimmed the device to see where its limits were, and eventually replaced it with another new one. That second replacement marked the end of the starter lockups.

Since then, a nearby auto shop had a similar puzzler, and after we discussed this, the tech solved his customer's starting problem. In all cases, once started, the CPS gave no trouble.
