Default fuel filter?

when you turn the key but not start it you hear the fuel pump turn on and then usually it thuds and shuts off.

problem here is it not shutting off its constantly on! and wont shut off causeing the car to go into limp mode! could it be the fuel filter causing this?

what kind of car is it. it could be a problem inside the main relay. i had the oppisite problem with mine. but i just put my pump on a switch so that it does run constantly lol.
