every time you turn the key "on", the pump runs for 3 seconds to push fuel into the fuel rail for a good start. After shutting off the truck, look for a schrader vavle on the fuel rail un the VEE of the motor. Push the center button and see if you have pressure. Should maintain pressure for quite some time after shut down... maybe 20-30 psi. There is also a pressure regulator by the firewall , probalby by the brake cansiter on the fule rail. It maintains pressure on the fuel rail. If the diaphram failes, you will loose pressure on the schrader valve within 60 seconds after shut down--- buy new regulator. Fule pump might not boost up to 40 spi, but suspect the regulator first and check it.
