Default Escort Cosworth Fuel Pump.

Can someone help me with a little problem?
When you turn the ignition on, you can hear the fuel pump charge the system then stop. Then obviously the fuel pump starts again once the engine fires up.
I need to find out what is controlling the pump and if it's a relay, which one is it?
One other thing, Is the fuel pump cut off switch in the N/S/F footwell behind the sill trim?

Cheers
Anthony.

ECU cuts fuel pump if the engine isn't cranking, its a safety thing to kill the fuel pump in case of an engine stall after an accident.

Yes, just behind where the cill meets the A pillar.
