As to you believing it won’t pump fuel, did you use a pressure gage?
As to it running all the time, pull the pump relay.
The fuel pump relay is the one nearest the booster.
You can identify it by wire colors.
You should find wires there with the following colors: orange, red, gray, black with a White stripe, green with a White stripe.
After pulling it, did the pump still run?

You have either a “welded” relay, or a defective ECM.
You can swap the relay to find out if the relay is at fault.
Also, with the key off, when you remove and insert the relay, if you hear the relay *click*, you have a defective ECM.
