Neil,

Thanks, I did ask the mechanic if he checked the timing and firing order. He
said he checked and verified both 3 times.
I suspected that might be the issue. I plan on checking it for myself later.

The specific engine management stuff is question. That would affect
drivability but the thing should still start, right?
