Actually, I think this point has been debated. It seems some cars do this, and others don't. I don't believe mine primes the pump, yet it always starts very quickly. Or at the very least, it only runs for a second or less. I tried verifying this with the wiring diagram but I have a crappy one in my house. I'd have to go to the garage for my good one. Can anyone who is good at reading wiring diagrams check this out and see why a car would do this or why a car would NOT do this? Andy In a message dated 4/24/2007 6:47:31 P.M.

These are sounds you normally hear before you crank the engine. Johnny 5518 AZ-D Fargo, ND 1982 DeLorean DMC12 VIN 11596 ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
