Fuel System Pressure Release

  1. 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, left of ECM. See Fig 1 .
  2. Loosen fuel tank filler cap to release tank vapor pressure. Start engine, and let it idle until it dies. Crank engine 2-3 more times to ensure fuel pressure is dissipated from system. Turn ignition off, and remove key. Fuel system may now be opened safely. When loosening fuel line, hose or fitting, cover using shop towel to absorb leaking fuel. When repair is completed, reconnect relay.
