quot from 88rx7gxl
The fuel pump only works when the car is...
Cranking (turning over with the key)
Running (once the car has started the AFM will tell the pump to stay on)
Jumping the FP test connector. There is a yellow connector on the passenger
side between the airbox, and the strut tower. It has 2 wires going to it. If you put
a jumper wire in those two sockets in the plug, the Fuel Pump will run all the time when
the key is on.

hope you don't mine 88rx7gxl that i'am quoting you
