Thanks Tracy, I would like to see this on your web site. We just have to find someone to design and maintain it. I went on Wiki, but I was lost? Have no idea how to get around. Sorry Bob.

SUPER idea Buly.  I wish I had collected all the incidents of this sort for a troubleshooting hint list but the time to do it has escaped me.  Haven't even had the time to check Bob's Wiki site (another GREAT idea) to see what might be there already.  If anyone has or builds such a list like you suggest, I would be happy to include it in the EC2 installation guide and publish on my website.

I was going to suggest this to Tracy, to ease his load on the phone 
calls. But I know how busy he is, so maybe we can create the 
database. Everybody here once in a while comes against problem that 
takes (sometimes) weeks to solve. If all that is reported with 
simptoms and solutions found, maybe next time we can look it up there 
before calling Tracy?
Latest example:
After getting my updated EC from Tracy I had hell of a time for 
couple of months. Engine was hard to start, very rich, fouling plugs. 
I returned it to Tracy and he found nothing wrong. One day after 
starting it by using starting fluid, I noticed my MP reading stuck on 
29.8. Ahaaa! Started looking and found a MP hose fitting 
disconnected. The EC was reading full throttle and was dumping fuel 
accordingly, plus the fuel press. regulator was increasing the FP.
If we had a Q&A type list maybe I would have found it much sooner?
What do you think?
Buly
