Right at the front of the car.

Dale
So is the part you circled where I would do what Dale suggested above to pressurize the fuel system?

If you are checking for a fuel leak or just want to pressurize the fuel system, you do not do anything with the fuel pump relay. Go to the "diagnosis" box at the driver's side fender and jumper the contacts that correspond to "fuel pump" and "ground". Look inside the cover of the diagnosis box to see which is which. Once you make the jumper connection turn the ignition switch to the "on" position (do not start the car). You should then hear the moan of the fuel pump working. All of this is also in the shop manual.

EDIT: A paperclip works perfect to jumper the contacts.

man i just laughed so hard my eyes watered.

thank you.

ok.

i admit it, ive been thread digging. and searching. but with reason.

i am a n00b (obviously) and i am in the midst of a FPD replacement. Once I got in there I saw that my primary injectors were leaking as well.

I have access to an equally old set, but i think that if I get them installed that they will leak too.

So, long story short, I am thinking of buying new injectors and then installing those.... BUT
on the O-rings on the injectors, should I wipe a bit of lithium grease on them?

Or leave them dry when I replace them////

I already wiped some grease on the new FPD's o-ring, installed that, and then tested it for maybe 2 min like this:

It didn't leak. The primaries I had in there at that time sure did though.

any o-ring should be lubed upon installation

For the fuel system o-rings, I use MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil). They should not go in dry.
