Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair
CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.
After making sure engine is cool, release fuel pressure as follows:
1. Place transmission gear shift selector in "Neutral" (shift selector in "P" range for A/T vehicle), set parking brake, and block drive wheels.
2. Disconnect coupler from fuel pump relay.
3. Remove fuel filler cap to release fuel vapor pressure in fuel tank and then reinstall it.
4. Start engine and run it until it stops for lack of fuel. Repeat cranking engine 2-3 times for about 3 seconds each time to dissapate pressure in lines.
Fuel connections are safe for servicing.
5. Upon completion of servicing, connect coupler to fuel pump relay.
