I also found this out.  I forgot to plug in the oil pressure switch 
connector, and the vehicle started right up.  In fact, I drove it 
across town and back before I realized that it was not connected.

This was on a 1228746 TBI vehicle.

I'm glad it isn't a miswiring on my part or some other weirdness.  I 
didn't know that the feature was useless.
