Gen II Swap Guys -- Fuel Pump Prime Options

[Fastbird]

For you guys with the Gen II GTE, do you have a circuit wired up for your fuel pump to prime for 2-3 seconds with initial key on engine off??? I've noticed that on a cold start my car has a mofo of a time starting and I can't hear the pump prime or anything. Car has to try to suck fuel through the system to get it going and it sucks. I never bothered to notice before if (when stock) the pump was wired for a prime or not when the key was initially flicked on, but it sure doesn't now and makes for difficult cold starts.

Any help would be appreciated. Trying to get the last couple little things straightened out on the car.

Why do you need it there to begin with?

Just to stop any sort of "techy" answer.. it's useless. It does absolutely nothing unless it's -40F out .. I even disabled it on my 5sfe and I had no issue at all starting that engine when it was 0F. It would have to be really cold for the gas to not be able to atomize from the injectors to need a 5th injector which sole purpose is to give the gas more time to atomize since it is further away from the cylinders.

It's a worthless item.. Honestly.. unplug it and tell me if you ever notice more than a 1-2s cranking difference if even that.
