I bet my OE eng. ground is insufficient now that the subject is up.. my engine has always had a slower turn than I thought it should be, but it never fails to start after the 2-3 turn. I think your one of the few pioneers to do that and won't find much here on the topic, probably more info in the mazda forums of the like.. seen some fe3 swap talk over there in my search for performance up's on the kia.
