Bob, please get this fixed!  I've only ever seen one brain where this 
function didn't work right. It  shouldn't be hard to fix. I have 
plenty of good brains here.
 
 
It's on my list of things to do, but at this time of year, it's not a  
priority since the car is in winter storage (keeping it out of the salt). I'll  
probably go thru the wiring again, and see what the real deal is on it. I do 
 have a spare ECU that I got from Russ, that I know came out of a running  
car.
 
When I first went thru this, I couldn't get any pump action at all,  unless 
I grounded #19. After the 3rd ECU, I was beginning to wonder IF I even  had 
a good one. Then I tried the 4th one, and it ran the pump, and ran the  
engine, but it ran the pump all the time the key was on. I tried those same  
ECU's in another car, all 3 of them would work in it. :O So this might just be 
 a simple wiring issue. Fortunately, Sue doesn't drive the car that often, 
as  her van hauls a lot more stuff and people around. I keep trying to get 
her to  put more miles on it than she does, as these cars really don't like 
sitting  around, and not being used.
