The shop tested the fuel pressure during one of its visits and said it
was okay. It is so random it might have been fine during that test.
I would like to put a fuel pressure gauge on on it so I can monitor it
while driving but havn't figured out what to purchase and where to
install it. I know it probably goes on the fuel rail or maybe I need
to install a tee fitting to make it work.
