The answer is yes, the engine will continue to
run. In fact, talking with Tracy he assumed that most folks would kill the
engine by turning off the master switch - which would indeed remove power from
the EC2. If I had not installed injector switches, I would indeed have to
kill the master switch to stop the engine. So I can verify it will run
with the power switch to the EC2 OFF provided power to the injectors are
on. However, since I don't know what components the sneak circuit involves
or how much load they may be capable of, to be on the safe side, I
normally do not run it with just the injector power.

Along these lines, how is the best way to turn the
engine off with Tracy's EC2 and do some glide test to determine the engine out
glide characteristics so that I can fiqure out what power and flap will get me
similar glide to practice engine out landings with the engine
running? Of course I wish the engine to restart after the glide
test:>)
