Noise when key is off?
Why would the solenoid that the red and green lines come out of on the spyder be making noise w the key off?

That's a good question! Never heard of that before. Did you unplug it? It gets 12v power from the same fuse as the fuel bowl heater. I shouldn't be live with the key off. It is ground controlled by the PCM. Anything else on with the key off? What kind of noise is it making?

Sounds like the power is not shutting off for the vacuum pump also.
