If the start valve remains open after eng start then the starter will still be engaged.

As it is designed to disconnect at roughly 50% idle speed you will probably be picking up pieces of starter off the ground if you actually get to idle with the starter still engaged.

Many messages are inhibited during eng start but a faulty start valve is not one of them because immediate action is required.
