When removing the gas tank for a sway bar install I noticed that the fuel pump on my '75 had a different colored wire hooked up to it, and a stray wire not going to anything. It has always worked fine, so I ignored it. Then I learned that the fuel pump is supposed to shut itself off after a few seconds with the key in the 'on' position. Mine doesn't do that, it just runs continuously. While I do want undo whatever the PO did and wire it correctly, I don't have time to do anything now. My questions is will this hurt anything assuming I actually start the car and don't just leave the ignition in the position without it running? Thanks- Robert |
