Re: [DMCForum] Re: Intake manifold removal

If there is no fuel pressure there will be no fuel all over the place. 
I pulled the shut off on my inertia switch then ran the car till it 
died when i removed the intake, no fuel was lost. Some people remove 
the air flow meter with all fuel lines attached (very hard to do, i 
have seen it). Read the link and look at the pictures i attached to the 
email.

I really dont understand why someone would tell you to remove the fuel 
distributor of the air flow meter when they can be removed as one 
piece, it is just extra unnecessary work.
