My starter is a hit and miss unit right now, when that is addressed I intened to expirement with the idle issues. I need to track the time idleing up to and at stop lights and do some math. I have about 12 stoplights each way going to and from work. So that is 120 stops a week and the associated idle time. I currently coast up to stop lights.

I thought it was interesting that EOC is only slightly better than Engine On Coasting. So I guess ATX's don't suffer as much as I previously thought.
