Always relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. On 9-3, remove fuse No. 32 from driver's fuse box or on 9-5, remove fuse No. 19 from driver's fuse box while engine is running. After engine stalls, turn ignition off and reinstall fuse. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components. Performing fuel system tests require partial disassembly of fuel system. Work only in a well-ventilated area and use vapor extraction equipment if available. Keep a BE-rated fire extinguisher handy in case of fire. Wear protective gloves and goggles.
