I'm confused. I thought on my car (1986 5000 CSTQ) the fuel pump did not 
get energized until the sensor detected crankshaft rotation? Does inserting 
the code dumping fuse cause the ECU to bypass that?
If so, driving with the fuse in is a potential safety hazard. If the fuel 
line breaks (in an accident) and the engine stops (no fuel), the pump turns 
off.
