FUEL SYSTEM
| WARNING | ALWAYS relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components. |
Fuel Pressure Release
Remove fuel filler cap to relieve tank pressure. Disconnect fuel pump relay connector. Fuel pump relay is located next to ECM on under left side of instrument panel. Start engine and let run until it stalls. Engage starter for about 10 seconds to ensure fuel line pressure has dissipated. Turn ignition off.
INJECTOR (TBI)
Note. Remove injector only for cleaning, "O" ring replacement or injector replacement.
THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR
Note. DO NOT immerse diaphragms, electrical components, or synthetic parts in carburetor cleaner.
