got it

Ok I figured it out. For those of you that have TBI, take off the fuel pump relay located on the firewall driver side. Take the tan and white wire or known as "A" on the 5 wire harness. Run an ignition wire to that terminal and throw the relay away. When you turn on the key from now on this will turn the pump on.

And when you wreck it, the pump will keep right on running until you turn the key off...if you're able to...

Future Darwin award pending.

relays are $7. that's cheap insurance against a car fire.

The relay is there to handle the current that the pump draws...your wiring may or may not be sufficient to handle sustained pump running.

Why take a chance?
