sounds a lot like my original "Auto-Comp". I too used the starter signal to start the timer for the button push.
I also added a second timer... called the "Valet Mode" that would not auto-select the Competitive driving mode unless you waited until the dash guages finished their initial power-on sweep. Anyone not knowing to wait this 6-7 seconds woulds still start up just fine... but would not auto-inact the Comp mode.
The Valet Mode was an optional jumper-selected feature.
As many of you know, The Auto-Comp never made it into final production. I was offered a buy-out by the guy that mfgrd the Trans-Active Controller module (the $150 module you all hear about)... and now they are out of business.
