Opps, on further thought, guess it would have to be a triple pole three position, center on toggle switch.  Do they make such a thing?

Thanks Bob, I didn't get that part.  (or it was a different message?)  The part I got was asking for a diode fix to prevent the problem (message didn't specify what that was).  Paul then suggested a diode in series with the driver which would in-fact prevent the injector current from powering the EC2 but it also prevented the injector from firing as well.
 
A triple pole double throw, center off switch might accomplish the single switch goal if wired correctly.  I have no problem with that but don't see how it is related to the 'diode fix'.

To put the quote in context, here is the rest of it.

"...
His recommended solution is to put on-off switches for both the primary
and secondary injector pairs.  His logic is this allows one to disable
an injector pair if it is misbehaving, and at the same time prevent the
backward EC-2 power phenomenon mentioned above.  I am not a fan of this
solution - I wired my system with a single switch
primary-both-secondary.  I figure if I have injector problems, I don't
want to be flipping a pair of switches trying to find the right
setting.  There is comfort in knowing I need only flip a single switch
either up or down to disable which ever pair is not working.

So it's really just an issue of his preference for having one switch
instead of two.  Apparently he doesn't have a master switch for the bus
either or didn't turn it off.  Otherwise, the only time the back power
causes a problem is one of the reset modes for the EC2.
