They are noisy, and they run when ignition is one, but should stop flowing...... Sounds like a regulator or leak issue.

u do any wiring?

cuz i remember reading that the pump will not stop running if you dont have a relay for the pump

its a safety precaution if you would be in a wreck the pump would stop pumping if the car shuts off

or something like that?

i think its a voltage problem to the fuel pump. exact same thing happened to us because the pump was only getting 1 volt lol.
