^^^^^there is no valve on the fuel rail on 2.4.


you get some gas from the pressure but the main is that the filter is full of gas.


Wow, I never would've thought...

Well here's the official GM procedure for relieving the fuel system pressure.

1)Disconnect the fuel pump connector.

2)Lower the vehicle.

3)Start and run the engine until the fuel supply remaining in the fuel pipes is consumed. Engage the starter for 3 seconds in order to assure relief of any remaining pressure.

4)Raise the vehicle.

5)Reconnect the fuel pump connector.

6)Lower the vehicle.

7)Disconnect the negative battery cable in order to avoid possible fuel discharge if an accidental attempt to start the engine is made. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnect/Connect Procedure in Engine Electrical.
