You should have fuel pressure all the time, with the pump humming whenever
the ignition is on. Easy to tell ... just turn on the ignition and see if
the pump is humming, or pull the fuel line from the rail and turn on the
ignition ... you'll get a LOT of fuel flow very quickly. If there's no
fuel pressure, you definitely have a fault in the fuel system.

The ignition system also sounds suspect if you have power on both sides of
the coil all the time. The power to the coil should turn on and off, just
as with a set of points and condensor. The timing pickups and computer box
simply manage when. 

Sounds like time to go to a shop.
