I’ll add a bit to Dave’s comment- DON”T prime your engine in MODE 1!!!
With the engine off and mode 1 selected, pushing the program button turns on the injector simulation function which I guarantee will flood your engine in a heart beat if your pumps are on – don’t ask me how I know.
One of the good things about my “Plugs Up” engine installation is that a flooded condition is quickly overcome as the gasoline drains out the exhaust ports (on the bottom) and the plug chambers never get flooded with gasoline. However, with a regular engine installation a flooded engine can be an aggravation.

dosent matter unless you want to "click prime the engine" in which case it must be in mode 0 to start. General practice to keep it in more zero to avoid changining something on accident.

I am just starting to tune my EC2 system and feel pretty sure I need to adjust the injector flow (mode 3). Should I always start in Mode Zero, then switch to Mode 3? Or can I start in Mode 3 and begin injector adjustment right away?
Thanks,
