Anybody know where the fuel presssure release valve is on the SOHC ka or if there is one at all? My friends got my fuel and air lines backwards and i think a part of why my car dies is because i have air in my fuel lines. I heard its suppose to look like the little nipple on the tires to inject air but i havent been able to find it.

i dont think there is one. to release fuel pressure, you have to take out the fuel pump fuse and crank it, so it uses up the left over fuel in the lines and fuel rail. want to make sure tho, maybe someone else will chime in.

^^yeah he's right...to release the built up fuel pressure, take out the fuel pump fuse, and try to start the car. it'll run for like 2 seconds and then die.

then the dangerous fuel pressure is gone. you still might have a little leak out but don't be alarmed.
