Im trying to de-pressurize the fuel system, i popped off the fuel cap and pulled the fuel pump relay fuse located on the front of the care (infront of air filters) but the car continues to idle... how long should it idle for untill fuel pressure drops enough for it to stall? (been idling for 5 mins already).

stop posting here and wait outside til it dies LOL j/k

maybe you pulled the wrong fuse? im assuming after 5 min, it should stall already..

Are you sure you pulled the right fuse? It's the big one closer to the battery. I usually just take off the gas cap and leave the car overnight.

yea i pulled the fuse marked "Fuel Pump relay" ******* car is still idling! lmaoThe- 7-CANT STALL!!!!

You didn't pull a fuse, you pulled the fuel pump relay. The fuel pump relay on this car only switches the fuel pump to high speed. The car will quite happily idle for weeks without a fuel pump relay as the pump is still able to run at low speed.

If you pull the fuel pump FUSE the fuel pump will most definitely not run.

^^hmmm thats true

i forgot about that.. a fuse completes a circuit, without that, the fuel pump will not work.. but removing a relay will still allow it to work..

damn its been so long LOL

That is the relay that bypasses the FP load resistor. That realy does nothing at idle.

The FP fuse is in the fuse panel by your left foot.

The FP Circuit Opening Relay is by the left shock tower.

These are you best options!

mad_7tist

the circut opening relay supplies power to the pump. the fp relay bypasses the resistor under bost/high acc.

ok... so where is the fuse for the FP?

RX7Wishing

nm, i finaly gave in and did the job anyway. besides the fact i got covered in gas.. im ok... :p

BTW

GAS+Armpit = Burnage!!!!!!

Sonny

LOL...that almost happened to me. I pulled my gloves over the edge of my sleeves, so I nothing got in.
