However, I must be doing something wrong because when I follow it's instructions at least one or more of my engines come to life as soon as I pull the condition levers back to "Ground Stop" in step #2.

I know I'm ressurecting an old topic, but did you ever find a solution?  I just recently bought the C-130X and am having the same problem.  When I pull the engine condition levers back to ground stop, I get a sound like the engine is trying to start over and over--sometimes even starting.  It's odd as well, as this isn't absolute 100% of the time, just very close.  Would love to hear the solution if anyone has found one.
