    Fuel pump relay buzzing

    I'm trying to diagnose my '91 e30 that has a full '92 M50NV swap. The fuel pump wasn't turning on with the key when I got the car but it turns out the harness adapter had a faulty connection for the fuel pump relay. I fixed that and now the fuel pump relay makes a buzzing sound (it's rapidly turning on and off) - that can't be normal can it? I've tried two ecus (a red label and a blue label) that came with the car, but I have access to a third, known working red label that I can also try after I verify there are no more wiring faults. Anyway, do you guys have any ideas as to what would cause the FP relay to buzz?

    P.S. I sincerely doubt this has anything to do with the leak.

      Measure the voltage at the coil of the relay. If its below spec, find the wiring issue causing the voltage drop. If its within spec, replace the relay.
