	We certainly hope that your cold start injector is not firing when
the key is in the "on" position.  The cold start injector is intended to
only run when it's cold *and* the starter is turning over.  That's why
it's called the "cold start" injector, not the "cold running" or "warmup"
injector.

	Perhaps this is related to the "injectors firing continuously"
problem above?  If the key is on but engine is not turning over, the ecu
disables power to the fuel pump.  This is a safety feature:  imagine
crashing the car, but the key is on and there's a gas leak.  If you've
rewired the pump power, then it is probably running continuously if you
just turn the key to the on position and don't start the car.  The pumps
should whir for just a second or two when you turn the key to the on
position, then it'll shut off.


Good luck!
