when you pump the pedal to bleed the lines does the car need to be off, i thought it needs to be running.

I never read anything saying the engine CAN'T be running. Why would you have it running though? Seems like an extra step and a waste of fuel.

Yeah. Why would anybody start the car while they're trying to bleed the brakes? The PB isn't necessary when the bleeder is open.
