If you aren't at the correct operating temp, it won't work.

I think it's also going to limit back to back launches... It likely says in the manual. I hate to be the "read the manual" guy, but there are a few circumstances where it will not work.

I also tried to do a B2B, and it wouldn't let me. You have to wait a while (not sure how long?) to use it again.
But honestly the car launches off pretty well w/out it?!

Tend to agree, can't see much reason to use LC other that for try out. It does wear things out...
