I donīt use FCOM because i am not a Pilot.
My source is the AMM and my experience as a Mechanic.

"...you must monitor engine until stabilized..."
I personally starts the 2nd Engine after 1st Engine has stabilized, because if you have trouble
with the first Engine after "cut out", better 2 Peoples working on that Problem.

difference of Classic and NG
FCOM.... OK, but (sorry) it is written for Pilots.
Before i get angry PMs, let me explain:
FCOM shows fundamental System Information, because no Pilot needs to know whatīs going
on behind the Switches.
The Pilot must only know that the Illumination of START VALVE OPEN Light mean "Valve open".
The Background may be much more complex.

So, here the some detailed Information about my wording "not in the closed position" :
wiring =

Valve =


In the NG the signal goes in the DEU. If the DEU sense "not closed" you get the indication
START VALVE OPEN on the Display.
Blinking indication is possible due to digital handling of the signals in the NG.

btw : your Profile says a little more than nothing. What is your Occupation.
