Yet another injector upgrade question or 2
Everyone makes this sound easy and well worth the upgrade so I'm considering upgrading my son's 2000 XJ 4.0L (156k miles) stock injectors to some 784's from Programbo:

and have a fuel pressure release question. I don't recall if the fuel rail has a pressure test port on it but I am assuming this is how you would release the pressure from the fuel system?
Once the pressure has been released can we then remove the fuel rail and the injectors?
Once I re-install everything, I think I read someplace that the computer needs to be reset? How do we do this?
Thanks - Mike

There should be a port to release the pressure. Take the battery cables off and hold them together for 20 sec. or so to de energize the memory. It may take 50 restarts to retrain the computer

With a bit of digging, I just found a write up on the injector swap:

even after draining the pressure, you will still lose fuel out the fuel rail when you disconnect the fuel line. so use some rags along the top of the engine and one to catch any fuel that may come out of the end of the rail.
