Well I just tested the eha current. Cold start (KOEO) condition I observe zero current to the EHA. During starting cranking no current either. After warm up I observe a current to the EHA of 4-5 ma --- it moves arounds a bit but pretty constant.

If I restart the engine when warm --- the EHA current is about 100ma and the car starts right up.

So mebbe I have learned something. But now I wonder what determines current flow to the EHA during cold starts that could be contributing to the problem???Also, should be current eventually go to zero at idle condition???
