Obviously I have never tried this in the real airplane so I wouldn’t know what actually happens if you move the start levers to idle prematurely. I believe there is no way to induce an abnormal start condition in MSFS. If the EEC detects a wet start, it will turn off the ignition and shut off fuel 15 seconds after start lever is moved to idle. During in-flight starts this protection is not active.Ī wet start occurs if the EGT does not rise after the start lever is moved to idle. This protection is only available during ground starts. On EEC detection of impending hot start or stall, the EGT value will blink white and the EEC will automatically turn off the ignition and shut off fuel. The current EEC version protects the engines against hot starts, wet starts, stalls and EGT start limit during ground starts. There would be fire in the chamber but not enough airflow so EGT would rise rapidly. Hot starts can also occur when the engine starters stop igniting before N2 reaches 56% (starter cutout speed).

(The limitation is to achieve max motoring and minimum 20% N2). As you say, advancing the start levers to idle prematurely can result in a hot start.
