Problem releasing pressure on s14

[224leao]

Looking to swap the larger z32 fuel filter into my s14 but ive been having trouble releasing the pressure. Cant seem to find the right fuse. I tried the EGI which i read elsewhere would cut the fuel and allow me to change the filter but I removed it cranked the engine and it started perfectly fine. Never stalled. Cant seem to find the right fuse. Anyone know which one it is, thanx

sounds like you didnt disconnect the egi pump fuse(fuel pump) so your pump is pumping . the egi is for the computer

dont quote me, but I think(guess) that taking the gas cap off releases enough pressure.

That won't do it... you need to find the FUEL PUMP fuse and remove that (10 amp fuse in the fuse box that is in the left hand side of the engine bay). Start the car up, and it will idle for about half a minute, then stutter and die. You'll still have some pressure in there and will lose some fuel when you pull the filter.

silly me I kept looking under the hood and the fuses there, when it was actually near the clutch pedal on the lower left below the dash. Found the correct fuse there released the pressure fine and did the swap perfectly fine. Also cleaned the throttle body along with the filter change and ive noticed a little better fuel response. Thanks a lot guys for ur replies, now I know ive got some support and aid for w.e. I need help. Good lookin out guys
