Take out the fuel pump fuse and then start the car until it cuts off on its own.
After it does cut off, the system is relieved of pressure.
No, you do not have to relieve the pressure but if you don't you need to take certain precautions. Look for a Schrader Valve on the fuel rail. It will look like a tire valve. Use that to relieve the pressure. If there is none then remove the fuel cap and relieve any pressure there. Then wrap the connection at the filter with a rag and prepare for a spray of fuel when you break the connection. i recommend safety googles just in case. If you use care and cover the connection with the rag you will be ok. Only a small about of fuel will escape in the spray.
41 to 47 psi
56-62 psi
where is the fuel filter on 1996 Pontiac grand am and how to fix it.
Were is the fuel filter on a 96'pontiac grand am
remove the fuse for the fuel pump and try to start the car, if it starts it will only run for a second or two then die, then you have relieved the fuel pressure.
Remove the gas cap and that will relieve pressure in the tank. There is a Schroeder valve on the fuel injector rail. Use that to relieve pressure at the injectors.
Near the rear of the vehicle up near the gas tank; RELIEVE FUEL PRESSURE FIRST BEFORE REMOVING THE FILTER!!!
Start the car, then pull the fuel pump relay and any fuses for the fuel pump. Run the car until it dies. Or, you can just pop off the gas cap.
There is a schrader valve on the fuel rail that will allow you to blled the system. This is not normally necessary as the air will be pushed out by the fuel pressure.
If it is multiple port no less then 40 psi, if it is TBI throttle body fuel injection no less then 25 psi.
In the fuel tank
