David,

 

Maybe it is a problem with the crank angle sensor.  This signal isn’t needed for the test modes.

Yesterday I went flying and tested out my new smoke system... everything was perfect...  somke is fun.  Today I head out to go formation flying..  nothing changed from my flight yesterday except for adding fuel.  But it won't start...   I verify that I have fuel pressure, fuel flow, injector function (in test mode), I have spark (in test mode).  Maybe it is flooded... I change the plugs, re-verify spark in cranking mode (to eliminate issues with CAS), re-drain the fuel, verify compression, re-verify fuel pressure and flow and injector funcion... but still it just turns over without starting...  Sigh

Anyone one know of a new component necessary other than fuel, spark, and compression?
