Default I Need a Fuel Pressure Tester

There is not a garage around me that can check my fuel pressure for two more weeks.Where can I buy a tester for around $200.5.9L 24 Valve Cummins

Are you looking for a tester to check supply pressure, or injection pressure?

I have a previous post titled power loss.I`m code 216 on my scanner which means fuel injector timing error.I`d explain everything again but my last post was long winded enough.Do me a favor and check it out.

What year is your truck?
If its 98.5-2001 with the vp44 injction pump, I'm sorry but you need a new injection pump and most likely a lift/transfer pump.
What is the actual P code? P0216?

It`s an `02 ,I think its the pump too but before I spend the money.I picked up an electronic high pressure meter.It must measure resistance and calculate it to PSI and Bars.Now I gotta figure out which wire sends the fuel pressure signal.Anybody got a wiring schematic of the plug that goes into the pump?Oh yeah I already replaced the low pressure pump.P0216 is the code.

I need part # 6923 for a tester. I have a 1997 Ram without a test port. My testor does not have the test adapte> Any ideas where to find one. One dealer referred me to snap on. Nothing in there catalog.

I would check with Geno's garage on tester. I bought a feed test pressure gage from them.
Good luck
