Fuel Rail Test Port location?
« on: June 25, 2007, 02:25:23 PM »
I want to connect a fuel pressure gauge to test and diagnose some issues. Anyone know how to get to the test port?

I tested my fuel pressure back under the backseat .I believe
the only other way would be to connect it before the fuel rail .

If you are looking at the engine from the drivers side, the fuel return line is on the left side, the fuel feed is on the right side (closest to the firewall).

The curved one in the photo is the supply  I believe. That's where you would check pressure with a fuel pressure guage.

easiest place would be in the engine bay on the fuel line (not the return line).

Those fuel lines in the engine bay are not the easiest to disconnect . When I replaced my injectors there was hardly any wiggle room with those lines.
