Fuel pump relay stays energized

I swapped an ej251 into my loyale.  Its running fine but not shutting off with the key.

The fuel pump relay is staying energized when I turn the key off and remove it.  Can anyone help me figure this out, please.

 

I have my switched power connections hooked into the EA where the old fuel pump relay got power.

 

I have it wired as follows:

 

Fuel pump relay

terminal 1 -switched power, green/red wire

              2 -hot,  black/red wire

              3 - to ECM untouched, green/black wire

              4 - to pump, black/red wire

 

Main relay

1- ground, black

2 - untouched, green/black

3 - switched power, yellow/blue

4 - switched power, yellow/red

5 - hot, black/red

6 - hot, black/red

So....on the fuel pump relay....The Green/Red wire....are you providing that with switched power????.....I'm pretty sure it should get powered on by the ECU.....

 

And the main relay.......When you say 3+4 are switched power....are you saying you put power to thoses wires??  Or that those are the ones that get powered on when you turn the key?

 

IIRC.....I think you on;y need to provide a switched power to the ECU...and it should turn on the FP relay.

 

What year model is your harness from???

Yes I am providing switched power to the green red wire on fuel relay, also to 3 & 4, yellow wires, on main relay.

harness is from 01 impreza 5spd with 3 plug ecu. Which wire is sitched power to ecu?

I went down to the local subaru shop and color codes for wiring are same for all the 99-04 ej251 that I have looked at.

I was somewhat confused.....It is the Main relay, not the Fuel relay that is given 12v+ by the ECU.    But in red above lay the problem.

 

 

 

Those wires BECOME energized and switch to ON by the relay.......they are the Load sides of a Double pole relay. (they supply all the solenoids,IAC,Maf,Coil transistor in the engine bay)  The Green/Black is the 12v+ side of the relay's coil and of course the ground is ground.  The Green/Black wire is supplied power by the ECU when the ECU is given power. 

 

 Powering on your EJ's harness should be done at pin c10 of the ECU connector.....Which should be a Green/red wire.   You are indeed correct that the Green/red wire at the Fuel pump relay should get Ig. 12v+..........This wire should connect back to the ECU at pin c10.  Somewhere in the strip down they got chopped apart......but should connected.
