What happens if the fuel pump is not turned on?
If the power is turned on to the motor, the motor will run…no power, it won’t run. Unless the relay or PCM sends a signal to the pump and waits for a response before the relay/PCM would shut off the power, it does not seem logical that the issue would lie at the pump.
When is the fuel pump relay turned on?
The fuel pump relay is an important component of the fuel system of your vehicle. The fuel pump relay gives the fuel pump power when it is time to build up fuel pressure in the rail. Whenever you turn on the ignition of your vehicle, the fuel pump relay is turned on. There are different reasons due to which the fuel pump relay fails.
Is the fuel pump suppose to run in the run position?
If your Haynes manual says that the pump should run with the ignition in the RUN position rather than in the START position, it’s wrong. A 2G has a relay for the MPI and one for the fuel pump. The fuel pump relay only has a single input from the ECU and no connection to the starter circuit.
How does the fuel pump work on a Ford truck?
On late model Fords, there is a fuel pressure sensor but not on your truck. The PCM keeps the fuel pump relay energized for a second or two while the engine is cranking, then cuts it off the relay the engine does not start. If the engine starts, it keeps energizing the relay to run the pump.
Why does my fuel pump not prime when I turn it on?
Pulled fuel pump relay and put in a jumper wire to run the fuel pump and it started. Put the fuel pump relay back in and it starts and drives, but the fuel pump still doesn’t prime when turning the key on. I’m afraid that after sitting overnight, it will once again refuse to start.

When do you turn on the fuel pump?
When you turn the key… When you turn the key to On, the fuel pump may run from 2 seconds to 2 minutes before it turns off. We replaced the PCM module, ignition control module, fuel filter, PCM diode with no luck. It seems like the longer the truck sits, the worse the problem.
