Fuel pump issues

Is the stocker supposed to run constantly even with the engine off? I don't think its supposed to but am not too sure.

Also, could this be part of the problem with my car not running correctly?

Depends on the year of the car. I belive the '84-85 cars only run the fuel pump during cranking and when the car is actually running. If the relay that controls this is faulty, you might not get fuel at all.

Its an '82 GS. Just wondering because my '85 GSL only runs while the engine is on.

Yep, so if you don't have any fuel pump action, then that's your problem.
