Car runs ok cold. New fuel pump stops running after 10 min. Pump relay looses signal to stay closed. How can I test pump resistor. That is, what range of resistance should my ohm meter show? What else can shut off control circuit to fuel pump? Thanks, Jim

Many GM cars have a backup oil pressure circuit for the fuel pump, that is, if FP relay goes bad, once oil pressure is above 10psi, the oil pressure circuit will run pump.
Conversley, if OP circuit is bad (low pressure) pump will shut off.
