Over the past week or so - i have not run into the event again.
I have successfully EOC'ed for a total of 1.5 miles to work and 1.7 from work ( so total of 3.2 miles out of 24 mile round trip.
I believe i was not keying the car into correct position - and thus the engine did not kick on.
( other wise known as User Error - or adjusting the Nut behind the wheel)
I have been doing the partial clutch engagement to start engine then clutch back in and then re-engaging the gear.
Thanks everyone for the assistance with this.. I look forward to saving even more fuel with this technique.
Steve
