I want to replace my intake manifold and plenum - the plenum is easy, but the manifold itself looks kinda tricky and removing the fuel rail scares me because I've never done it before and have NO idea how to do it properly or what to expect.
Can anyone direct me to a decent how-to, or do a quick write-up for me? Other than disconnecting the battery and not smoking around it, what safety precautions do I need to take when pulling the injectors & disconnecting the fuel rail? I don't at ALL know the proper way to do this, and I don't entirely trust Haynes. --------------------  |

to releave fuel from the lines you can just do like what you should do when you change a fuel filter. disconnect the fuel pump fuel and run the car until it dies. after that there shouldnt be any fuel. it'll take a few cranks to get it started again once your done
