Default what makes the car stop priming?

like the title says..what makes the car STOP priming the fuel system?

my car used to prime for a few seconds, then it(the main relay) would click, the CEL would go off, and if i listed to the fuel lines under the hood, fuel would no longer be flowing.

now, after the click and CEL turnoff, the fuel-priming sound is still there.
what is goin on?

the main relay sends a signal to the fuel pump to STOP priming?

if it does, how does it know when to do it?

my main relay worked fine before (resoldered all the connections cause some were cracked) . and it starts up nice and quick...hmm

check for fuel leaks. leak = no pressure able to build = pump runs all the time?
