Fuel Pressure Release

CAUTION: Before attempting any work on fuel system, release fuel pressure. Fuel remains in the fuel lines under high pressure even when engine is not running. Cover fuel hoses with a cloth when removing to avoid spillage. Plug hoses to prevent leakage while repairing fuel pump.
  1. Turn on ignition and run engine at idle. Disconnect fuel pump connector located under rear floor mat.
  2. When engine stalls, turn ignition switch off. Use a rag to protect yourself from spray when disconnecting fuel hoses. Plug hoses after removal.
