[T3] Question re F.I. fuel pump cutoff

[Robert Rogers]

You are correct. The relay controls the fuel pump at startup.  It is located under the dash fixed with one screw.  It is about a one inch black box.  You should be able to locate it by turning on the ignition and listening to it click. Simply replace it and you are good-to-go.

> The fuel injection fuel pump for my '73 Squareback is supposed to run 1-2 sec. when the ignition switch is turned to the "on" position, then stop until the engine fires.  Mine did, but now runs all the time when the ignition is turned to "on."  Since the cutoff is a safety feature to prevent the pump from running when the engine quits, thereby preventing a gasoline catastophe, I need it to work properly.
