Fuel System Pressure Release
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Mercury Mystique and 1995 Ford Contour. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove fuel cap to release fuel tank pressure. Remove relief valve cap. Relief valve is located on fuel supply manifold. Using Fuel Pressure Gauge (T80L-9974-B), release fuel pressure from relief valve (Schrader valve).
- If fuel pressure gauge is not available, disconnect electrical connector to IFS switch. For IFS switch location, see INERTIA FUEL SHUTOFF (IFS) SWITCH LOCATION table. Crank engine for 15 seconds to reduce system pressure.
