forgets to introduce spark quick enough after fuel input
Interesting. In my 40 years of flying turbine engines of many different types, they have all had the spark operating before fuel is introduced. Listen to any turbine starting and you will hear the igniters shortly after starter engagement (PT6 is a classic example).

I've yet to encounter an engine where the pilot controls the spark, but I'm happy to be educated.
