Another fuel pressure related question
-.releasing the fuel pressure.-
I allways use the rag method around the shrader valve at the fuel rail...
This time I tried the fuel pump fuse method...
The manual says to remove the fuel pump fuse and let id die itself after 20 or 30 secs.
With the car started and idleing I remove the fuel pump fuse. In the same istant i pull the fuse (the one in the fuse holder in the passenger door..), the car dies imediately , removing 0 pressure...
I was expecting to see the car idleing for at least some seconds up to the point all the fuel available is burn...
I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks

My original question is:
"Is it normal that pulling the FP fuse it will kill IMMEDIATELY the engine?"
...or it should be running (20 or 30 secs) and die itself when it has no more fuel to burn?

This is with normal fuel pressure before starting.
