You are correct that pulling the fuse for the injectors should prevent fuel flow, but as we do not know the reasons why the op is even doing this test, the general systems condition of the vehicle, or how technical he or she is; bleeding off the pressure first is simply a guarantee that they will not create other problems while completing whatever they are working on.

Yeah, if they would have said from the onset that the car sat in storage for months, AND the actual reason for not wanting it to start, then things may have gone differently.
I have no beef with you or Blue. I just didn't get the impression that they "only hear what they want to hear." Maybe I had the advantage of seeing all the posts.
