Yes,
	I had a similar problem on my 4KSQ. I exchanged the entire 
	ignition sys (bloody beginner!)because there was no spark at
	the plugs only to find out that the FP-Relay as faulty.
	I couldn't believe that the pump would come on even with 
	the bad relay !!! Consider yourself lucky that your pump
	indicated that sth. was wrong.
