Balto, as soon as you and Metro have this sorted out, I'll install mine. I was afraid of jumping in without knowing exactly how it works, especially with my (very) limited electrical skills. You make a perfect guinea pig!
I just want a button next to regen button on my shifter that forces an autostop at any speed, and makes it stay off until I release the button, and then re-start normally. I don't care if I have to hold the button down the whole time to keep it off, I'm used to that already with the brake regen button, but I definitely want the car to be able to re-start itself normally after I release the button.

I personally can't phantom why it lugs at 150 - 300rpmish 50-75% of the time I try to kill the engine. There is no spark, and the car isn't in gear, how the hell is the motor turning over?
I would like to add though, my city mileage went through the roof with this mod. On a cold start to the bank, my best trip was like 42-45mpg, and I got 54 no problem. If I can sort out this lugging issue, I'll be golden. I don't think there will ever be a tactic where you won't have to hold down the clutch, I just want the engine to die when I flip the switch while holding in the clutch. I may go the injector kill route combined with the ignition coil kill route just for added effect, but I have got to learn how relays work first.
