Does your fuel pumps run all the time the key is on and the engine is not running?

i should've bought the fuel gauge first.

fixed all those other codes,still run like crap.so i bought a fuel pressure gauge.i should have done that first.
so my pressure is only half of what the book calls for on this model. i checked the fuel filter, lots of trash! so im pulling the tanks tomarrow, im pretty sure this is the problem.i'll post what i learn,hopefully it will help someone else save some money by reading this
