Yep - I've found that after about an hour, it's good to go...

Maybe my injectors are leaking

I was thinking about a sea foam treatment.

Also I understand that the fuel filter is under pressure so what is the trick to doing it so I don't take a gasoline bath?
Seafoam is a bad idea.....use chevron techron instead.....

wot will disable the fuel pump circuit. A lot easier than getting to the inertia switch and trying to knock the ball off that magnetic cup

Depress the shrader valve on the rail with a rag. If you can't see, use a lighter... J/K unless you don't want your eyebrows

I don't think the 2006 has a Schrader valve.

You can also pull the fuel pump fuse and crank it over for about 15 seconds.
