I cant seem to find the cruise control actuator I need to move for a head gasket job I am doing on a 1990 prelude si. if anyone knows where it is, let me know, the book says i dont have to remove it, but i have to get it out of the way. (not sure what this means...)
The essence of "the proper procedure" is to handle the stored fuel pressure in the lines - about 40 psi for multiport injection. It isn't a big deal unless it takes you by surprise.
The classic way of doing that is to disconnect the fuel pump and try to start the engine - it will sputter when the pent up fuel is injected then just crank. As long as there is enough ventilation you can do it my way - wrap a rag around the connection when you loosen it, then take the gas soaked rag outside and dump a glass of water on it. The amount of pressurized gasoline will be a couple of spoonfulls.
