speaking of fuel filters, is it really necessary to relieve the fuel system pressure like the repair manual says (by using a programmer and using technology and crap) or can u do it by doing something else. i already used the computer to do it , i was just wondering if there was an easier way for next time.- or do you really even have to do it?

yea, thats pretty much what i had to do before, i borrowed the programmer thing from my friend, pulled fuse and started the car till it died,- but taking out gas cap seems a lot easier ,and i did that anyway when i did it.
