WTF???? Today i was changning my fuel filter to a z32. I removed the fuel pump fuse and crank the engine. THE ENGINE WOULDN"T STALL. Man and after that i killed it and tried to start the car and it was having trouble start up but if i wait a while it will start slowly get better. Shoot, it never did this before. So i decided to continue and take out the fuel filter anyways and the fuel line connected to the engine release the fuel so im guessing that maybe the engine is storing fuel somehow. Does anyone know why my car wouldn't stall and still allow the car to continue running?

You have to crank it several times, until it does stall. Usually it takes a good 10 tries, or you can just park the car for an hour with the cap vented.

Pull the fuse out while the car is its running. It will turn off in a few seconds if its the right fuse. After install you can turn the key to the ignition on position a few times before starting to get fuel to the rail.

its not that necessary to remove the fuse anyway. fuel still leaks either way.

it's considerably less fuel if you pull the fuse though

we do fuel filters where i work, just pull it out and dont be looking in its general direction at the time

After shutoff I have about 15 psi of fuel pressure. You really dont want that amount of fuel to spray everywhere. Just pull the fuse first it takes 10 seconds.

Did mine without pulling the fuse, had a rag ready though, wasnt too much gas. Just be sure everything dries up before you crank the thing on.
