The thing with doing that, is that it is pretty hard to get to the injectors in this engine. i was hoping there was an easier way to do it.

this is the weirdest fuse to find. there is no fuel pump fuse in under dash fuse paqnel and under hood fuse panel. look in the rear cargo area on passengers side for the fuel pump module. this is going to be the easiest thing to find, and disconnect it.
