With a little pressure on the pry bar I felt it pop off the fuel pump nipple. Be warned though if you don't relieve the pressure on the line first you will have a lot of fuel come out of the line. Ask me how I know. haha.

Also when I got done with the install my fuel needle read 1 bar higher then before the install. I didn't modify the float on the ZL1 pump since it sits the same height as the stock pump. I am gonna be nervous about running the tank below a quarter now.

I was just planning on dealing with the extra fuel coming out of the line, but just for the sake of argument, how would I relieve the pressure? Up at the fuel rail?

Yeah relieve it at the rails by holding a rag over the schrader valve and pushing a small screwdriver in it.

Pull the fuse in the inside panel by left leg. Start the car.

I'm running Cortex Roto91 for now....but have a few things I'm planning, and in a few months will have Rick Crawford tune and wrench on her.

Thanks but I can't take it to the dealership with an intermittent problem. We both know they can't diagnose/fix when it is working. I have a great dealership that I go to. I will take it in when it does it more often. This was the first problem in almost 4 years. I will send an email to the service manager.

Noticed on the way home from work that my boney elbow has worked away at the leather on the door arm rest and there is now a crack in the leather ;-(

Anyone know if it can be replaced independent of the door skin? Easy to do?

Things like this were never a problem when I didn't care about my cars so much ;-P

Cool, Ray. I'll do it this way since there's a FP gauge hooked up where my schrader valve used to be. Though since I've already exposed the pump, wouldn't just unplugging the electrical connection at the pump accomplish the same thing as pulling the fuse?
