Me too....I thought I was the only one. I do it because I used to get random Cam Sensor codes if I hit the key over too quickly. Ever since I've taken to going to Key On, and stopping to wait for the lights to go out on the DIC and have the pumps stop and then go to Start I haven't had any Cam Sensor codes. Used to be a real pia.
Sodak52, my apologies for going off topic.
You are aware that there have been random cases where FIC injectors have soft failures right out of the box? In this case it sure sounds like you could have one or two that leak slightly. I'm not throwing rocks at Jon & FIC, but I've noticed in all the FIC threads there are random out of the box soft failures in a few cases. You may want to check the plugs for wetness the next time you start up from stone cold. You know let it crank and not pump the pedal, and if you get a no start in a reasonable time, stop cranking and go check the plugs for gas. Or you can pull the plenum and see if the injectors are leaking while you power up the pumps with the KOEO position.
Or you could hook up a fuel pressure gauge to the rail and then crank but not start it and watch to see if the PSI decays quickly. That symptom could indicate a leaking injector. Also, did you check the F/P regulator for gas in the vac hose?
