ECU & "engine running" signal question

TeGGer® 5 February 2005 19:19:21
 How does the ECU know the engine's running? Does it use an alternator
output signal, or does it use the RPM pickup in the distributor?

Also, what's the purpose of the Starter Signal as used by the EFI main
relay? Is it only to energize the fuel pump relay while the engine's
cranking?

So the if the RPMs are above a certain amount, the ECU considers that the
engine is running?

I ask because obviously the crank angle sensor would be registering
movement even during starter operation.
