Being an impartial observer, I don't exactly think that's the case here. SFK was inquiring about the fuse that fed both the ignition AND the fuel injectors. It doesn't necessarily mean he didn't understand or listen to what Blue said about fuel in the cylinders.

Now here's MY take, and please tell me if I'm wrong:
1) The car was sitting all winter, so I seriously doubt there's any significant fuel pressure in the system anyway. Just pulling the fuel pump fuse or relay should suffice.

2) Even if there IS fuel pressure, and here's where SFK's question comes into play, if the fuse that powers the injectors is pulled, then the injectors can't pulse and inject fuel into the cylinders anyway. Correct?
