The fuel pump comes on for 2 secs only when you turn key to run and then shuts down unless the engine is cranking over and the computer is seeing an ignition reference signal it will constantly activate the fuel pump relay. The fuel pump relay primes the fuel system for 2secs what powers it when the engine fires up is the fuel pump/oil pressure sending unit
