What size engine?
Should be able to ground pin#6 of the DLC and turn on the key, the fuel pumps will run until you turn off the key.

If you are not getting the PIP from the Distributor then the pumps will only run for one second when you turn on the key.

Also you might want to check the fuel shutoff switch as if they hit a bump with it, it will open, just push the button on top.
