Hmm...I'll have to watch more closely.  If mine's not doing that -- and I
can't remember ever noticing that it was -- maybe I should replace the
relay.  It might help smooth out my cold starting a bit.  I don't think
it's a wiring issue because the plugs *do* stay lit as long as I have the
starter engaged.
