If the fuel pump is not hooked up, will it keep from getting spark?

Hi,

Yes, the ignition spark will continue. After the initial priming of the fuel pump, it will now turn back on until ignition is recognized by the PCM.

Let me know what is happening and if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
