It is important to dierentiate between the rst (accessories) stage and second (ignition) stage.
You have to make sure that you connect the ignition wire to a second (ignition) stage ignition feed. If
connected to the rst (accessories) stage the data recorded by the M4xx will be wrong, for example
idling.
The ignition feed must also be live when a Stop & Start occurs (engine o at trac lights). The feed
does not have to be live while cranking but it is good practice if it is.
