If you're experiencing a fuel delivery problem, here's what you should check instead of looking for a manual reset:
* Inertia Switch: This is a safety device that cuts off fuel flow in a collision. It's usually located under the dashboard, often near the driver's side. Look for a small, usually red, switch with a button that might be pushed in. Push the button to reset it. This is the most likely "shut off" you're experiencing.
* Fuel Pump Relay: A faulty fuel pump relay can prevent the fuel pump from working. You'll need to locate the relay (check your owner's manual or online for its location) and either replace it or swap it with a known good one to test.
* Fuel Pump itself: The fuel pump may have failed. This requires more advanced diagnostics and likely replacement.
* Fuel Filter: A clogged fuel filter will restrict fuel flow. This is a relatively easy component to replace.
* Wiring: Check the wiring to the fuel pump for any damage or loose connections.
* Check Engine Light: Is the Check Engine light on? If so, have the codes read at an auto parts store (many offer this service for free) to diagnose the problem.
In short: There's no manual reset for a fuel shut-off valve. The inertia switch is the closest thing, and that's the first thing to check if you suspect a fuel cutoff. If that doesn't solve the issue, further diagnostics are necessary to pinpoint the problem.
