Not sure how much this will help but I will throw this out there.

On my 84, it is always a single cycle. I recently had some problems with my
84 where going down the road after driving for a while, it would cut out. I
of course ignored this until it finally stopped running. But when it did
stop running and would not start, I noticed that the pump cycled twice
everytime I turned the key on.

My problem ended up being a weak connection at the AFM. I cleaned it and
since have had no cut out problems. AND...my pump only cycles once again. It
was odd. My Van completely cut off twice and would not start when I had the
connection problem. Both times I had the symptom that the pump would cycle
twice when the key was turned on.

Not sure if this helps...

Just an observation but it seems that Robert has a legitimate question and
his post has sort of been hi-jacked. I'm curious to se what others say about
his pre-start double cycling of his fuel pump.
