not to long ago i installed my entire setup that is listed in my profile. recently i bought another car and i need to transfer the parts. in order to do so i need to remove the fuel pressure, however, i cannot just disconnect wires from the fuel pump and start the car, because it is impossible to start the car. i must remove the pressure because i can't have gas going everywhere. ne suggestions, ideas????
 
If its been sitting for a while ther might not be much pressure left in it. I would just open it up and have some rags waiting.

Does the car still crank? If so, remove the mpi fuse and crank the car for 15 secs.
 
All i did was take a a jumper wire with some alligator clips, and go from the battery one fuel injector, and it will purge the fuel into the cylinder.
 
open up ur gas cap and push in the flapper. there is still going to be a little fuel come out just because there is still fuel in your lines. but nothing to worry about.
