Tracy included in the newer models of the EC2 a feature = that you=20 can 
trigger the coils and get the plugs firing without the = engine=20 turning.
Just press the red button on the EC2 panel and watch your = spark=20 plugs 
fire. No need to crank the whole engine for = that.
Tracy can=20 explain it better.
