It triggers and cycles fine, Huw, it just doesn't emit any fuel.  I can 
lift the air flow sensor plate and the car will start.  IMO, ether is 
for 2 strokes and diesels, I don't like what it does to 4 stroke gas 
engines .......... I am actually one of the rare folks who can't 
tolerate ether ... makes me stop breathing!
