It should cycle on and off controlled by the de-ice switch,I have never had one that shuts down at idle though.Is your gas pressure OK ?

If the pressure is too low the compressor wont cut in, it sounds like its possibly on the low pressure limit?

Sam 58: this article may guide you through some excellent faultfinding.
Have a look at the flowchart first, to understand which components could stop the pump from running. And since they are logically in series, any component in the chain could be the culprit.
