The fuel pump usually is either always on or on based on demand pressure/vacuum. A bad crank sensor (one that tells the fuel system the engine isn't turning when it really is) will prevent fuel being introduced into the cylinders just like a bad fuel pump though. Really dumb design in my view-- my daughters VW Beattle was famous for these kinds of failures.
