yep adder is right, once it has enough pressure in the line u wont hear it at all

the pump will not run all the time... only when the car is running, or when you first turn the key

Inertia switches don't go bad. You can reset them. Just push the red button to reset it. If it's not that then try the relay. But you really should have a wiring diagram and be going through the entire circuit with a dmm. Replacing parts is never a good idea. You'll just get frustrated.
