Left side fire wall forward of 3/4 cylinders, little round gizmo, has one fuel line and once vacuum line connected to it. Doesn't anybody buy and read manuals anymore? On the fuel rail between 3/4 injectors there is a little screw sticking up, remove the screw, hook up a fuel pressure gauge here (round air dial gage works fine). Have someone turn the engine over while you watch the gauge, Max pressure 32 psi, minimum pressure 17 psi. (Bentley says something different) Let the engine run at high idle of 2000 Rpms and watch the gauge, it should hold then release etc. and you can get your readings. Have a fire extinguisher handy just in case. These things don't go bad that often. I think you've just got to get everything in sinc.
