So, you will need to do ABRTD ENG START. ~ Starter valve did not close after N2 reaches 62 % - Wait until you get E1CAS [EENSRRNUEMSUIROIR , perform the STARTER CUTOUT checklist to isolate the bleed to the starter to save the starter, then perform the START VALVE checklist Autostart Autostart allows the EEC to control fuel and ignition. With the AUTOSTART switch ON, the autostart sequence is initiated by rotating the START/IGNITION selector to START and moving the FUEL CONTROL switch to RUN. For in-flight windmill starts the autostart sequence is initiated by moving the FUEL CONTROL switch to RUN. The START/IGNITION selector opens the starter air valve to begin dry motoring the engine. Moving the FUEL CONTROL switch to RUN opens the spar fuel valve, but not the engine fuel valve. The proper sequencing of fuel and ignition is controlled by the autostart system. With the FUEL CONTROL switch positioned to RUN, the EEC opens engine fuel valve and energizes the igniter(s) at the appropriate N2 RPM. During autostart, the EEC monitors EGT, N2 RPM, and other engine parameters until the engine reaches idle. During ground start, the autostart system monitors engine parameters and will abort the start for any of the following: + hot start ‘+ no N1 rotation hung start ‘+ insufficient air pressure for starter operation + nO EGT rise ‘+ start time exceeds the starter duty cycle timer. ‘= compressor stall HZ-AK31 - HZ-AK4S ‘+ oll pressure 10 PSI or less starter shaft failure HZ-AKI - HZ-AK30, HZ-AK71 - HZ-AKW. Note: The autostart system does not monitor oil pressure and temperature HZ-AK31 - HZ-AK4S Note: The autostart system does not monitor oil temperature. Ifa hot start, hung start, no EGT rise, or compressor stall is detected, and N2 RPM is less than starter cutout speed, the EEC turns off fuel and ignition and motors the engine for 4 seconds before making a second or third attempt. The second attempt uses both igniters. If the second attempt fails, a third attempt is made by adjusting the starting fuel flow. If N2 RPM is greater than starter cutout speed, the EEC turns off fuel and ignition, closes the starter air valve and allows the engine to spool down below 30 percent N2 RPM. It then reopens the starter air valve and motors the engine before re-introducing fuel and ignition for subsequent attempt(s). On the ground, if all attempts fail, the EEC aborts the start. Fuel and ignition are shut off and the engine is motored for 30 seconds to clear residual fuel. The starter air valve then closes and the START/IGNITION selector releases to the NORM position. The EICAS caution message ENG AUTOSTART (L or R) is displayed. HZ-AKI1 - HZ-AK74 On the ground, autostart does not attempt a second or third start if there is no N1 rotation, insufficient air pressure, the starter shaft fails, the EGT exceeds the start limit line, or the start time exceeds the starter duty cycle. The EICAS caution message ENG AUTOSTART (L or R) is displayed. HZ-AKA - HZ-AKW On the ground, autostart does not attempt a second or third start if there is no N1 rotation, insufficient air pressure, the starter shaft fails, or the start time exceeds the starter duty cycle. The EICAS caution message ENG AUTOSTART (Lor R) is displayed, Note: For in-flight starts, the autostart system temporarily discontinues the start if a preset EGT between the start and takeoff EGT red line limits is reached, or a hung start is detected. Autostart takes corrective action if some start problems are detected, but does not abort the start. Whenever the AUTOSTART switch is selected OFF, the EICAS advisory message ENG AUTOSTART OFF is displayed and the AUTOSTART switch OFF light illuminates.
