de-pressurizing rails for an injector swap
I am trying to replace some injectors on an LB9 TPI and went to de-pressurize the fuel rails. I was going to do so by removing the fuel pump fuse and running the lines dry. Problem is I can't find the fuel injector fuse. Anyone know where to find it so I can get on with the new injectors ?
Anyone have any better ideas on de-pressurizing the rails prior to removing injectors ?
Thx, RP.

I couldn't find it either. Wrap the schraeder valve on the rails with a shop towel and stick a phillips screwdriver in it (with the car cold). Don't forget to take off the gas cap too. IMO, that's the easiest way.

You could just take the rails off and put a towel under the side of the rail to absorb the fuel that spills out. Its not like its going to catch on fire unless you light a match on it
