<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>So, if I turn the key to the on position, and I can't hear the fuel pump, that must automatically mean that the pump is bad right? Nope. Let's see, crank angle sensor, air flow meter, engine temp. sensor, ignition switch, throttle sensor, and battery voltage signal. Yep that's six, if the ECU decides that it doesn't like the info that it is getting from any one of these, it may decide not to power the pump <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Just as I read agian... its sucks that your car need to be running to get usable signals from these...(at initial on position) all read zero thats 0...this means your cars computer does not use any signals to prime or not prime your pump...
Your "Fuel Pump Relay" primes the pump at initial power...then runs the pump at start up...
Who ever said the fuel pump shuts off when the pedal is floored...think about that one
