- Place transmission in Neutral or Park and set parking brake. Disconnect 4-wire connector from fuel pump control relay located under left side of dash, to left of ECM. See the FUEL PUMP RELAY LOCATION table. See Fig 1 .
- Loosen fuel tank filler cap to release tank vapor pressure. Start engine and let idle until engine dies. Crank engine 2-3 more times to ensure fuel pressure is dissipated from system.
