- Trouble-free cold starts on the Firefly's coil: 5/5
- Trouble-free cold starts since re-installing the Metro's coil: 5/5

It's healed!

(Have I mentioned yet that I hate intermittent problems?)

But seriously: now I'm wondering if it might have been a flaky connection to the coil that has been fixed by all the un/plugging.
