83 Volvo 240 GL (fuel pump keeps running/cycling) 200

Hello all.

Just recently bought this nice 240 from a fellow for $500.And im just getting started with dealing with these old 240's.Whats happening is that the fuel pump just wants to run even with the key set to standby mode.Which i think it should just cycle enough to build pressure then stop.Then it should kick back on during the cranking cycle.I did buy a new relay and the problem is still there.

And i just replaced the intank and under car pump along with the filters to boot.And along with a new FPR which is rated at 2.5BAR.I do not know if this is the right pressure or not.

The things i am thinking it could be are maybe the injectors arent being grounded therefore it will just dump fuel as its getting no input from the ecu.I am pretty confident this is a LH2.2 car but i never seen the ecm placed on the pass side of the engine like this before.

I also checked to see if this car has a cold start injector as that is what causes this problem more often then not.But i wouldnt be so lucky lol.I am thinking tomorrow ill just jump the fuel pump relay and get it to run that way i hope.The other thing that puzzles me is that there is a constant clicking sound coming from both the relays while cranking.

This is the first old 240 i have had to work on in awhile so im a bit rusty.Any input would be helpful.I plan on working on it all day tomorrow till i find the problem.

Thanks
Chris
