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.

Most would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism.
