Relieving Fuel Pressure
CAUTION:
DO NOT perform this procedure when engine is hot. Doing so may have an adverse effect on catalytic convertor.
- Place transmission in Neutral (M/T) or Park (A/T). Set parking brake and block drive wheels. Disconnect fuel pump relay. Fuel pump relay is located in engine compartment relay box.
- Remove fuel filler cap to release fuel vapor pressure in fuel tank. Reinstall fuel filler cap. Start engine and let run until it stalls. After engine stalls, crank engine 2-3 times for about 3 seconds to dissipate remaining fuel pressure in fuel lines. To restore normal operation, reinstall fuel pump relay.
