How do you relieve fuel pressure on 95 S10 2.2l?

To relieve fuel pressure on a 95 S10 2.2L ensure the vehicle has been sitting undisturbed for a couple hours. You can either use a fuel pressure gauge and valve to relieve the pressure, or you can use a screwdriver and a rag without a fuel gauge.

1. Using a fuel pressure gauge and valve:

- Locate the Schrader valve on the fuel rail. It is usually near the fuel injector and will have a small cap on it.

- Attach the fuel pressure gauge to the Schrader valve and turn the valve clockwise to open it.

- Relieve the fuel pressure by pressing down on the valve until the pressure gauge reads 0 psi.

- Turn the valve clockwise to close it and remove the fuel pressure gauge.

2. Using a screwdriver and a rag:

- Locate the fuel line near the fuel injector.

- Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry the fuel line connector up off the fuel injector.

- Place a rag over the fuel injector to catch any fuel that may spill.

- Start the engine and let it run for a few seconds until the fuel pressure is relieved.

- Turn off the engine and replace the fuel line connector.
