 i think the pump should run with ingition on, then stop with car started, you might have to have the heating on for this pump to work.

Hi, are you sure its not the SAI pump under the nearside bumper. Often fail or make lots of noise. You can just pull the fuse for it to check. Mine got loud so I had removed the fuse for good. Wont cause any problems.

If it's the pump under the header tank you mean, my 99 3.0 Elite doesn't have one either.  :(
