Releasing Fuel Pressure - Alternate method?
1991 EFI 2.4L. I need to replace the head gasket, so obviously I need to pull the head. So, I got the truck into the garage to start the disassemble process. Even though I have a repair manual, i neglected to pull it off the shelf for a while. Some things just seemed like obvious start points. Well, I goofed. I forgot to release the fuel pressure.
Manual says I need to unplug the fuel pump, then run the truck till it dies. I can't do that without spending quite a bit of time undoing quite a bit of work. The distributor is out, and all of the wiring harness, including the fuel injector connections of course.
So, is there an alternate way to do this? If I had a locked up engine, I couldn't follow the manual's prescribed process, right? So, how do I release the fuel pressure without counting on the injectors to do it for me?
It goes without saying, but I'd rather not blow myself up!!
