The fuel pump runs through the RPM relay and needs the engine to be cranking
before it runs. It runs a few seconds and if the relay doesn't sense the
engine starting, it shuts the pump off to prevent flooding. That's why
continuous cranking isn't the right way to get fuel to the engine. Repeated
cranking with the key turned off between crankings will restart the fuel
pump each time.
