Thanks
There's a few problems with what you wrote here. First, the pump only comes on for a few seconds and then shuts off if you don't start the engine. In other words, if you simply go KOEO (key on engine off) that's what it does. Then when you crank it over, it fires up the pump again.

Second, unless someone replaced the TBI with a carb. it doesn't have a carb. Third, you wouldn't know if the fuel is shutting off going to a carb since it has a bowl. So that is further proof you are probably seeing fuel squirting from the injectors in a throttle body. Also a carb wouldn't show visible signs of fuel unless the accelerator pump were compressed.

So the question is, do you have an actual problem with the engine starting or continuing to run? Or are you just concerned because when you go KOEO, the pump runs for a few seconds and stops?
