how to disable fuel pump

[jimmyv-21]

does anyone know an easy way to disable a fuel pump on a 98 s10 w/ 2.2?
i have tried the fuses under the hood- but they disable more than just the fuel pump. thanks

check your fuse/relay box in the engine compartment.

probably a stupid question...why do you want to disable it?

I'm kind of like distrubed one why disable it but really none of my business. and yes the relays are in the glove compartment more than likely there will be three but i really cant tell u which one for sure but i think it is the middle one

i am doing a professional fuel injection cleaning in which you prime the system with fuel and then using the fuel pressure test port, you start the car using a fuel injection cleaner that taps in at the fuel pressure test port- cleaner goes directly to the injectors. to do this you must disable the fuel pump- on many gm cars there is a single fuse to do this. on my s10, if you pull the fuse under the hood, you disable more than the fuel pump. i need to know what i am looking for behind the glove box that looks like a relay???

look for this....

no luck- not behind glovebox. the one under the hood in the fuse box is similar but controls more than just the fuel pump.

i checked my 98 s10 with a 4.3 and it is a minature 4 pin relay that only controls the pump. it is located in the engine compartment center fuse relay box next to the abs unit. the fuse/relay cover should tell you what the relay controls. a 4 pin relay cannot control more than 1 devise.
