I have the MicroTech ECU, and with that system, it is wired so that if there 
is no spark coming from the coils, the fuel pump turns off.  Probably not a 
bad idea, because if you have no spark, there's no need of pumping fuel into 
the rails.  As soon as there is spark, the pump automatically returns online. 
   I didn't invent this....it is standard on the MicroTech units. There is one 
exception....when you first turn the ignition switch on, the fuel pumps come 
online to pressurize the system for startup.  If, however you don't press the 
starter button within approximately 10 seconds, the pumps shut back off, until 
the starter switch is depressed, then the engine tells the ECU that it is 
providing spark, and the pumps come back online.   Hope this is helpful to 
someone?   Paul Conner
