Should the fuel pumps run all the time...
Hi guys
Trying to troubleshoot the yellow relay. With key on engine off should the fuel pumps run indefinitely ? 89 turbo Thanks |

No they should shut off as soon as the engine stops. The CDI box will run for about 10 more seconds to burn off residual fuel. There is a cutoff switch in the fuel head that is supposed to stop the fuel pumps from seeing any electrical power when the engine is off and the CIS metering plate is on its stop.
I editted this post to say CDI not CIS box..... Also thanks everyone else for expounding on my explanation.....the wiring diagram should explain it really well.....a picture worth a thousand words. Fred

How about if the key is in #2 position ( key on engine off )?
Thanks |

The pumps should only run when the engine is running. And as
Fred said the engine will run on for a few seconds when shutting off the engine but the fuel pumps will be off. If you turn the key on and pull the green connector off at the metering plate housing the pumps will run when the metering plate is depressed. This might help you chase down your issue !!!!! ![]() Cole

89 930.

Hay Cole:
When you figure out whats going on let me know. My pumps run when the engine is off as well. I think something on the car has been bypassed. Mine is a 89 as well. |

Guys:
I'm going to be s o l on the later models with the infamous Yellow Relay. Mark may have some ideas there as his car is a later model and he has experience with Yellow Relay woes. The only thing I can offer is pull the Yellow Relay, clean the pins and socket, then spread the pins slightly and try it. There are a ton of posts on here referencing it, just do a search on yellow relay. Cole

In order for the pumps to run when the engine is off and the key in the first detente the connector at the air meter assembly must be unplugged or the fuel pump relay jumped. The fuel system may also be wired directly to the battery via the aux switch.

You guys have covered it. All I can offer is a nice little picture that will show you how to bypass your yellow relay in the event it fails and your pumps won't run as a result.
