Well, I don't know if it's the cold or what, but I have an 87 2.5 Fiero.
I noticed the other day that my battery had an extra drain on it and
realized that my fuel pump hasn't been shutting off after the car has
been turned off. Now i am wondering what is wrong. I replaced the fuel
pump relay with no luck, and I pulled the fuse for the pump and it turns
off. Now is there any ideas about what's going on? Or should I jsut
install a switch to bypass the fuse now?? ;)

Thanks guys...

Chris

There is a fuel pump relay bypass switch hooked up to your oil pressure
sender. This switch may be stuck keeping you pump running, try
disconnecting the wires from the sender and see if your pump shuts off.

That's what it was :) I fiddled around with it and it was grounding
itself out i guess. works fine now ;)

This is going to be a very good year, Philo. You are starting off
wonderfully. I am impressed.
