It is the boiler that tells the pump when to run or when to switch off. If you're boiler thinks that it has reached desired temperatures then it will tell the pump to stop. It can and will do this prematurley if :-

A), The Heat Exchanger is comprimised and clogged up thus overheating
B), The over heat sensor, Thermistor or potentiometer is faulty. or
C), The Room stat is faulty.
