If the car if off-

1. when you turn the key to "on"

2. when you turn the key past on, to run the starter,

A search would've showed you this information.

It primes with the key in the ON position.

It only runs continually when the engine is running.

Exactly as I told you in your other thread...

In case you think I'm just guessing:


So, why do you ask?
