Paul...

Thanks for the post!  This sure sounds like the problem I was having.

A rotary with low compression makes a different sound while cranking than

normal, and it will often sound higher pitched - as if the motor is spinning
faster than normal<<

Again, since I've switched to oil in the fuel...I haven't yet seen it do
that...getting real close to calling it a cure.

That leaking injector problem seems the most reasonable source of my
problem.  When my friends head to to Florida for the winter, and I have
access to his garage again for 4 months, I'll take the car in there to work
on it.  I intend to do some major tearing apart then...to check things
out...just short of removing the engine.

I'll wait to see if it happens again before I attempt to do anything with
the fuel pump or relieveing the fuel line pressure after shutdown.

Great post, Paul...(and Ed, of course!) great list server...great service!

Glad I have a computer!

Thanks
