Re: 92 Accord fuel pump runs after engine turned off
If your fuel pump is running then it is a stuck relay as opposed to leaky
injector as posted previous. The drop in fuel rail pressure caused by a
leaky fuel injector would not cause a pump to operate at all with the key
off. If by some paranormal chance that the fuel pump was wired up to
maintain fuel pressure at all times it would not take more that a couple
seconds to do so. If an injector was leaking that bad then you wouldn't be
able to start your engine due to hydraulic lock of the piston in the
cylinder.
I have seen water injested into an engine which caused hydraulic lockup and
it through a rod through the side of the block. Little side note
