    It's fine as long as it turns off after a few seconds.

    Maybe the fuel pump relay bit the dust and got stuck open. Find it, and tap on it to see if it starts working again. If it does, then replace it.

    If the pump is coming on when the key is turned to the first position past off I think that is wrong. Only accessories like the radio should come on. That second turn before start the dash light and fuel pump then come on. Like said the fuel pump should go off after 3 secs if there is not spark detected.

    I would look at the switch you put in.
