Please expain this further.  My TR4 has an electric pump, but is wired
directly off the car's wiring harness.  I like the idea of it automatically
shutting off when the engine dies, but how do you get it started without
cranking the engine to build oil pressure first?  Or will the "cutoff" switch
allow juice to flow before the engine builds pressure?

Thanks,
