Have you checked the base timing with the EST unplugged? Should be at 6* BTDC with with it unplugged, then the ECM will add extra timing. If it's way off base, that could explain the hard-starting symptom. What does it sound like when you try to restart - does it fire at all, or just crank and do nothing?
