Default EZK Chip CEL behavior

Hi,
I have just installed Kens EZK chip and I have wired up the CEL.
I haven't taken it out yet but CEL behavior on initial start up does not match what I am expecting.

This is what I am expecting:

Ignition on: indicator activate to test the indicator light
Start up after EZK-S memory reset: Indicator will be active until RPM’s reach 2100.
Start-up after initial adaptation: Indicator will stay active for 2-seconds
Flash: Indicator will flash each time the EZK-S adapts the timing as a result of knock detection.
Constant On: Faulty knock or hall sensor

In reality the CEL is on when ignition is on but goes out immediately when I start -I think this should stay on until RPMs reach 2100?
I have reset by switching on ignition with WOT - same behavior.

Is this anything to worry about before I start driving to learn?

Sounds as though you need to be contacting Ken.

What exactly do you understand by the term "CEL"? Historically I associate such with the central electrical system.

It is easy to miss the first light if you hit the starter once and turn off for whatever reason.

Your light is wired to the (-) CEL pin #11 and switched +12V #1 on the 87-88 diagnostic plug?

Try unplugging the EZK connector to reset. Your WOT switch may not be working.
