ADAMS/Car: Straight Line Acceleration Event with Initial Velocity = 0 and Throttle Demand Start at 1s

Hi All,
 
I'm trying to do something that seems like it should be straightforward but am running into problems.
 
From the article below I'm trying to modify the file "test_accel.xml" to have a zero initial velocity and to start the throttle demand at one second.
 
Article Detail (hexagon.com)
 
The resulting throttle demand is correct however the drive torque output is not correct with a large initial torque and a subsequent profile which is incorrect.
 
I tried reducing the pvs_engine_stall_speed=0...but that didn't help.
 
Does anyone know what changes would be needed to run this file with a zero initial speed and the throttle demand starting at 1s? I'm guessing the engine and clutch settings are the culprit...
 
joe.
