Fuel System Pressure Release

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Always relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any component under fuel pressure. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components.
  1. Remove fuel cap to release fuel tank pressure. Remove relief valve service port cap. Relief valve service port is located on fuel supply manifold. Using Fuel Pressure Gauge (T80L-9974-B ), release fuel pressure from Schrader valve.
  2. If fuel pressure gauge is not available, disconnect electrical connector to Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch. Inertia switch is located behind right kick panel. Crank engine with IFS disconnected for 15 seconds to reduce system pressure.
