it should be pretty quick to see which.



The ECU doesn't care if the key is in run or start, it is powered the same regardless. What is powered differently is the coil. So, if the ECU makes a spark at all it is working.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
