This sounds like the white wire is from the FI wiring harness and
should go
to a dark wire that disappears into a chassis wiring harness. It
goes up
under the dash where it controls the FI fuel pump relay.
On some cars, the fuel pump relay got modified to make it run
without this
control from the FI computer. In this case the pump will run as
long as the
key is on. When everything is connected correctly, the pump should
turn off
after about 1 second unless the engine is turning over.
as my memory comes back to me...
the previous owner of my fastback had bypassed the ignition switch
with a toggle switch in the dash to control the fuel pump. this is
clearly a safety issue, and i would like to correct it.
however, i will need some help walking me through it. i look at the
FI wiring diagram in my Bentley and i am nearly completely lost. the
one for the earlier models makes sense to me, but the one for my year
and later i have a hard time deciphering. i was able to reconnect the
majority of the FI from the labels i placed on it when i took the
engine out. and the rest of it i was able to figure out by what fit
where.
