Fuel Pressure Relief (PFI)
WARNING:
Always relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. DO NOT
allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components.
- Fuel system is under pressure. Relieve pressure before servicing fuel system. Fuel pressure may be relieved using one of 2 different methods.
- One method is to disconnect fuel pump connector. Start engine and allow to run until it stops. Operate starter for 3 seconds to remove remaining fuel from fuel lines. Reconnect fuel pump once repair is complete.
- The other method is to install Fuel Pressure Gauge (J-34730-1 or SA9127E for Saturn) on fuel pressure test port. When installing fuel pressure gauge, wrap shop towel around pressure connection to absorb fuel leakage. Place gauge bleed hose in container. Open bleed valve to bleed fuel pressure.
