Got the relay out. Don't see a fuel pump fuse in the PDC or the dash fuse box.

Can't get the fuel line below the white connector off, even with the quick disconnect tool. Tragic if I remove the rail with it on? Help!

Just be careful. Sometimes you have to push it forward then pull it off

Yeah, what he said. insert the tool, push the fuel line IN, and try and push the tool into the connector as well. (push 'em toward each other) Then the fuel line should pull right off.

Update: Failed to get the fuel line off last week and worked all weekend. However, I rubbed her the right way and sweet talked her this afternoon and got the fuel line off! Unfortunately, I got rained out for today after removing the throttle body. I'll finish it tomorrow, provided the weather cooperates. Thanks for y'alls help!

So I've decided to replace the plenum gasket while I have it apart(Fel-Pro gasket is only $13). You mentioned using shorter bolts. I'm assuming that you mean replacing the plenum cover bolts. Where can I get em? Standard hardware from Ace?

Also, some dude with a YouTube video of his plenum replacement removed ac pump and alternator. Is this required to just replace the plenum gasket?

You can but if your AC is charged you can just unbolt the whole bracket and swing it aside
