battery.
(b) Do not smoke or work near open flame when working on the fuel system.
(c) Keep gasoline away from the rubber or leather parts.
2. DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
CAUTION:
Do not disconnect any parts of the fuel system pres-
sure until you have discharging the fuel system pres-
sure.
Even after discharge the fuel pressure, place a shop
rag over fittings as you separate them in order to re-
duce risk of fuel spray on yourself or in the engine
compartment.
(a) Disconnect the engine wire No. 3 (battery negative termi-
nal).
(b) Remove the circuit opening relay from the engine room
relay block.
(c) Connect the engine wire No. 3 (battery negative terminal).

tion to catch any fuel that may spill.
(6) Put a container under the connection.
(b) Take the following precautions when removing and instal-
ling the fuel injectors.
NOTICE:
Never reuse the O-ring.
(1) When installing a new O-ring on the fuel injector, be
careful not to damage it.
(2) Coat a new O-ring with spindle oil or gasoline be-
fore installing. Never use engine oil, gear oil or
brake oil.
(c) Install the fuel injector to the fuel delivery pipe and intake
manifold as shown in the illustration. Before installing the
fuel injector, be sure to apply spindle oil or gasoline to the
place where the fuel delivery pipe or intake manifold
touches the O-ring of the fuel injector.
(d) Take the following precautions when disconnecting the
