Monte, I found out about the ignition system firing when you turn the key on, by accident .

I have gotten into the habit of removing the spark plug leads from the plugs after I change the oil, and I spin the engine with the starter until the low oil pressure light goes out .

The first time I did it, I was holding one plug onto the cylinder fins, as I turned the key to the 'ON' position, and I got 'bit' real good from the ignition system .

So what you're saying, Bob, is that your Beemer's ICU and Bean Can Hall sensor are both in top condition!  Ouch! Did you get singed nose hairs?  ;D     Monte

There is probably a job for you in product testing over at Taser International - they have a new (3) shot stun gun that's just been released (it can shoot 3 sets of electrical darts on wires in rapid succession, and deliver energy to all (3) at once if needed).

Even I have enough common sense, not to intentionally, get an electrical jolt that will knock your lights out !!!!!!!
