Fuel Pressure Release

CAUTION: Fuel system is under pressure. Fuel pressure must be released before servicing any fuel system components. Allow engine to cool prior to releasing fuel pressure to avoid possible fire hazard and/or damage to catalyst..
  1. Place transmission in Neutral (M/T) or Park (A/T). Set parking brake, and block drive wheels.
  2. Disconnect fuel pump relay connector. Fuel pump relay is located under driver-side dash, next to junction box. See Fig 1.
  3. Remove fuel filler cap to release pressure. Reinstall fuel filler cap. Start engine and idle until engine dies. Crank engine 2 or 3 times to ensure lines are empty. Turn ignition off. Upon completion of repairs, reconnect fuel pump relay connector.
