So my fuel pump cycles even when the car is off. If I park the car the fuel pump may cycle on/off (like it's priming) moments later or many minutes later, but either way it will continue to cycle at that the same intervals; it seems to matter how much fuel is in the tank. I have the P1456 code, but I have searched and no where does anyone mention that their fuel pump is cycling like mine. I hope this makes it easier to figure out and I just don't know fuel systems enough so I need help.
I tend to think the only reason the fuel pump would cycle is because the pressure sensor is sending a lack of pressure message to the ECU...is this correct? And the reason the fuel pump cycles at different intervals is because of the pressure/weight of the fuel in the tank being more or less depending on how much gas is in it. Possible or not?
I have changed my fuel cap, but that's it. The car runs fine and I'm not too worried or panicked about it because it has done this for the last 30K miles or so, but it's something I should fix now and prevent having to deal with a non-running car.
