your bad fuel pump.

[Tom B]

No prob steve,
Sorry, its been a while since I've done one. I believe that I released 
pressure by loosening the fuel line going into the fuel distributer, fuel 
still sprays but is easier to catch. I think there may be an actual pressure 
release somewhere in the system, but I am at work and my manual is at home. 
Can anyone help Steve out?
enjoy,
tom
