Fuel System Pressure Release
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Suzuki Esteem. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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. See FUEL PUMP RELAY LOCATION table.
- Remove fuel filler cap to release fuel vapor pressure in fuel tank. Reinstall fuel filler cap. Start engine and run until engine dies. After engine dies, crank engine 2-3 times for about 3 seconds to dissipate fuel pressure in lines. To restore normal operation, reinstall fuel pump relay.
