The MPI fuel system is under a constant pressure
of about 330 kPa (48 psi). Before servicing the fuel
pump, fuel lines, fuel filter, throttle body or fuel
injector, the fuel system pressure must be released.

sure. (b) Disconnect injector wiring harness from engine
harness.
(c) Connect a jumper wire to ground terminal Num-
ber 1 of the injector harness (Fig. 1) to engine ground.
(d) Connect a jumper wire to the positive terminal
Number 2 of the injector harness (Fig. 1) and touch
the battery positive post for no longer than 5 seconds.
This releases system pressure. (e) Remove jumper wires.
(f) Continue fuel system service.
(3) Remove air cleaner to throttle body hose assem-
bly (Fig. 2).
