On many units in our cars, whether it were the lobe sense model or
the insert with the collar over the cam, we were advised to turn the key
on and wait 4-5 seconds before cranking the engine. Something about
the circuit absorbing voltage. I've used mine for 3+ years.. over 15K
miles and no problems (knock on wood)
