EUREKA!!! ok..so the jumper worked...but is highly sensitive. if i touch it, the pump kicks off. the pump makes no noise with key on, jumper out, so my pump just must be screwy? throw a new pump at it? with the engine off, jumper in, key on, i hear a noise coming from the fuel rail area...i dont *see* any fuel leaks, so maybe i have an air leak? when i idle up to 1800, it drops down to 1500 right away. everytime. and ideas? could this be tied in?
