Fit gauge onto that shreader valve. Crank up and see what you get.

Do you have the FSM that can be downloaded form the FAQ/DIY section? Harder for ids to hide that! (my grand daughter used to hide my son's keys....so he would not leave to go to work! He found them in the darndest places!

fuel pressure gauge will have a fitting to screw on there. Check pressure with key on but not started,than check with it started,find the fuel regultor and pull the vacuum line off while its running and pressure should jump up,if not regulator is bad.

There is no vac line going to fuel pressure regulator!


And to cutthroatxxx buy another Haynes when you go get the $25 fuel pressure tester.
