Pioneer4x4,


I still haven't checked fuel pressure, but in reading the FSM over the weekend, one of the fuel system tests involves emptying the system and starting the car until it fails to start. That pointed me in another direction. Even so, I found the process, range of expected pressure, and what I'll need to check it. The image of the tool is not similar to my old vacuum/fuel pressure gauge. I will be buying one. I suspect it will connect to most fuel rails.


Thanks for mentioning grounds. Don't know where to start, except the wiring diagrams, which are a challenge for me. I'm slowly getting there.


I just started a semester of auto repair at a nearby community college. Happens that we started with electrical systems. The instructor stressed repeatedly that really strange, goofy things usually are the result of an improper, inadequate, or unintended ground.


I will update as I go with this.


Thanks again!


Michael
