That's extremely dangerous because the fuel pump needs to stop when the engine does in an accident. Normal operation is a couple seconds or so when the ECU boots, and then during cranking and any time the ECU is getting timing pulses from the distributor** **unless air cooled, in which case there's a switch on the AFM.
