Turning the key to the first position (Run) energizes the power to the run circuit to the engine. Turning the key to the second position (Start) energizes power to the starter solenoid, that then pulls in the contacts sending power to the starter motor. The two circuits, although run off the same key, are actually different and yes, the engine can turn over without starting.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
