Relieving Fuel Pressure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Suzuki XL-7, 2002 Suzuki Vitara, 2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara, 2002 Suzuki Esteem, and 2002 Suzuki Aerio. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
DO NOT perform this procedure when engine is hot. Doing so may have an adverse effect on catalytic convertor.
- Place transmission in Neutral (M/T) or Park (A/T). Set parking brake and block drive wheels. Disconnect fuel pump relay. Fuel pump relay is located in underhood fuse/relay box.
- Remove fuel filler cap to release fuel vapor pressure in fuel tank. Reinstall fuel filler cap. Start engine and let run until it stalls. After engine stalls, crank engine 2-3 times for about 3 seconds to dissipate remaining fuel pressure in fuel lines. To restore normal operation, reinstall fuel pump relay.
