Well I think I've had my first maintenance problem. After I pused back from the gate at KTPA yesterday, I started the engines and completed my after start flows and checklist. Then I pused up the power a wee bit to get rolling but the number one engine would not respond to throttle inputs. I tried turning the EEC off then back on. No go. So I shut the engine down and restarted. No go. I thought maybe it was a stuck starter valve but the light was out. The bleeds and gens and hyd's were all set correctly. I checked the failure generator system in the FMC but there weren't any to clear. So I taxied back to the gate shut her down and called it a day. Any ideas what was up? Hiram Hunt

i sometimes have something simular with the Maddog and i need to use the FSUIPC engine sync option but dont know why. Sounds like you might have a more wise input to this /Michael

I had the same thing a while ago (also the No1 engine). There was just no response from the engine whatsoever, but after I restarted it, it worked ok. I'd love to know what it was

Is it possible your throttles got uncoupled, and only one was being controlled by your throttle on your controller? This has happened to me in the past, usually an errand keystroke that causes it.

Not a maint. issue - try rebuilding your FSUIPC.ini - we've had this a few times at support and that solved it.

Just an engine that is throwing a tantrum at you. Do a walk around and you have the choice between kicking the engine or using sweet talk. Sorry couldn't resist. Thank you for posting that so because it will certainly happen to me one day and now I know what to do with FSUIPC.
