What is this some kind of test?

You have electronic fuel injection. If the key is off, no fuel pumps run, so no fuel is pumped to the injectors which will not open; the throttle position sensor also does not work to tell the ECU, which is not powered up, to dump fuel which it cannot do. Also, the running losses sensor (which also will not open without power) is not getting any vacuum signal, so if it could, it would not allow fuel to flow either.

All you will do is open the butterfly valve in the throttle body.

This avoids revving the crap out of your engine with no load (never a good idea)...

If you have replaced the factory parts with a carburetor, you MAY pump fuel out of the bowl with the accelerator pump, and temporarily flood the engine. But, if you wait a few minutes, it will evaporate, and you'll be fine again.
