I guess it's a 2nd/3rd gen thing, if I turn key to "on" position you clearly hear the pump until the fuel rail is charged/pressurized, then cuts out as should...
That’s what I’m used to also. I assumed all vehicles did the same.
sure thats not the evap pump?
People always think they hear the fuel pump come on when the newer 2nd and 3rd gens do their self diagnostics (as in no key at all, 4hrs after the truck was last shut off)... sounds like a fuel pump, I agree.
but schematics show it cannot be
even on 1st gens, Gadget says nope.
No, the pump does not prime.
The ECU will command the pump to start only when it sees and RPM signal coming in from the engine. That is why it starts and builds pressure when cranking.
