My gut is it's one of two things-
One, superheating too small a volume of gas SERIOUSLY fudges up things. We know this can be true for another system- trying to fill tanks from canisters of incredibly hot gas. It just won't flow out because... I dunno, I just picture the atoms are too big or something. In the example I said above, my combustion chamber was at... I think about a billion degrees before I even started gas in. This meant it expanded like crazy, and with the pump pulling it back OUT of the system after being cooled by contact with the cold loop that probably didn't help either.
Second, this is anecdotal, but I feel like there have been plenty of times on various maps where I latejoin as CE (one of my fav jobs, if I see no engineers and CE is open I'll almost always take it) and there seems to be a certain point where those wires aren't gonna take power no matter what you do.
EDIT: Next time I'm playing during the lowpop hours I usually see right before MY bedtime, I'll try a few things and see what I can pin down, maybe I'll get something useful.
