Fuel Pump runs constantly., Relocated and rewired by PO. Options

[Crash207]

Hey guys.

73 1.7 D-Jet. 3 port Bosch fuel pump (now located under the fuel tank) runs constantly and is a bit loud. I read that it is supposed to run for 1-1.5 seconds and stop with key on engine off. Checked wiring and found it is wired directly to Fuse #8 on the fuse panel. Where should it be wired?

Side note. Car sat for 5 years before i rescued it and the fuel pump had power but didn't run until i whacked it a few times.

Thanks in advance, You guys are awesome and your expertise is much appreciated.

Rich,
This is not true, and you say it is not a safety issue, well I would disagree. It would certainly be a safety issue if the pump ran all of the time and you had a fuel leak. Just turning the key to on could cause a lot of fuel on the ground rather quickly, don't you think.
Look at the relay board schematic. Follow the yellow wire trace from pin 6 of the 12 pin connector. It also goes to the ECU to allow ground to appear at pin 86 of the fuel pump relay. So, among other things, such as the coil, the fuel pump is powered up at start, not just the starter.
