old fella, the atm on gtc models always dropped off line on engine starts. Not enough air to sustain both eng start and atm. This is true of all models, untill apu's were introduced. Always started 3-4-2-1, mostly for ground handeling reasons. On twins 2-1, and on tri-jets 3-2-1. A lot to do with hyd and elec too.
