MetroMPG -
I my first reaction was try a lower gear - and i think i did try the key while rolling.. but i may have just stopped and turned it over.
LESSON - consider the contengency plans BEFORE trying something new.

I will try again this evening. there is a strech with a long downhill and a burm incase i have issues. I will make sure i click things again to be sure i have things correct.

I have not had any fuel or spark issues before ( no issue keystarting it in the years i have had it) so i am less inclined to think it is an issue there... but with only 2 failures our of probably 15 attemps - not enough data to really tell.

I will try again ( in teh areas where i have a pull off OUT incase i need it) and recheck the KEY position - the Gearing - and even the Key starting of it happens again.

Who knows - there could me some sort of interloc that i happened to hit. I think the 2 issues were the longer of the coasting streches i have.

Thanks for the feedback and help.
