Replaced relays on left apron and replaced, NO power to fuel pump wire. How does a fuel injection pump Replaced everything, no power to pump or wiring to pump, does it rum intermittently or suppose to run all the time. Tryn to just get power by other means now

After the engine is started, it should run all the time. Fuel pressure is regulated via the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pump relay should be under the hood in a relay box.

If you do that, it will run all the time unless you take power from a switched component. Also, if the vehicle is in an accident, the pump will continue running which could be a serious fire hazard. I wound not recommend it.

My 1985 Ford LTD LX H.O. 5.0L E.F.I. Has the inertia fuel cutoff switch and fuel pump relay in the trunk above the right wheel well, I'm not an 'expert' about the other models.
