I have a 99 mountaineer 5.0 with no fuel pump upon ignition switch turned to on position. That problem i solved by finding a broken wire from the PCM to the fuel pump relay in the power distribution box. Now the fuel pump will run continuously and the car will not start
I have fuel at the valve on the fuel rail but have no idea as to what the fuel pressure is . My question is what controls the fuel pump under normal circumstance so that upon startup the fuel pump runs for about 3 seconds and then shuts off? Is this a time delay circuit built in the PCM or is there something that senses fuel pressure and shuts the pump off. my concern is that the broken wire may have fried my PCM which I removed and visually inspected for burnt components or heated areas on the board finding none. Any help would be appreciated.
