Hey i have a 97 cavalier rs with the 2.2 and i am going to change my fuel filter, but how do i relive the pressure out of the gas line befor i take the filter off. Because i don't want gas to spray in my face.

according to my haynes manual, all you do is remove your fuel lid, disconnect the fuel pump electrical connector located near the fuel tank, then start your engine and allow it to run till it stalls

They both do ALOT, you can run low rpm's and that cold air intake sucking all that cold air, WOW the gas mileage is great!!!!!!!
