[Shotimes] lost MPG due to fuel pump?

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Yes. You are right, almost! But that is cranking the car multiple times to
get the timing correct, I am talking about only cycling the key to the on
position and not actually cranking the engine.

computer would "guess" at when to fire the injectors and if wrong by 180
degrees then this would increase cranking times.  Repeated start attempts
would eventually lead to the computer guessing correctly and everything
working as it should.
