Hi Chez,
"The fuel injection relay I have in my car is 1235337"
OK—that's an (early) K-jet relay. Probably Black, or even metal case? Later ones are gray, green, or red. That's the only one for K-jet.
Theoretically it should NOT click with Key ON, but some do, depending on where the distributor stopped on the last shut down. It requires Ignition pulses (R/W wire from Coil negative post) to stay energized.
But I'm thinking now that Bob's Check Valve tip is worth testing out. It's right at the pump and should keep pressure in the line for several minutes. (But not ovenight.)
Anyhow, a quick way to buzz the pumps before starting (as test) is to apply 12 V to Fuse 5 (electrically, that's the same as the FI relay output). The most common way is to jumper from Fuse 6 or 7 (6 thru 10 are hot all the time). Use a piece of wire or whatever. I've used an open pair of narrow nosed pliers.
It's best to work on the INPUT fuse contacts, the ones closest to the door. This avoids excessive current thru Fuse 5. Run them for 5 - 10 seconds, then see if the cold start is quicker.
Is your Haynes a Green cover 1974 -1990, or the later Blue cover?
