toggle switch to fuel pump?

[wishful_laser]

i need to know if i can run a toggle switch to my fuel pump cause i think my harness is bad. let me know what you guys think.

you certainly could, but before you go to the trouble because you *think* your harness is bad, stick a multimeter on it and check it at both ends

Yep, check out the wiring harness, then the MPI relay, and finally that the ECU is turning it on.
Loosing power to the fuel pump is one of the ways capacitor damage to the ECU displays itself.

Keep in mind that using a toggle switch as the sole means of controling the fuel pump looses the protection that the ECU has in the case of a fire to turn the pump off when the engine dies.

Would it be safe enough to do this to drive around until you could replace the ecu?

For a varity of reasons I don't consider this safe to drive out of your garage.

If the ECU was the cause your engine will start but die within a few seconds when it runs out of fuel.
