Hi guys,
So my car broke down at the middle of an intersection yesterday. I was idling at a light and it just turned off & would not start back up.
I changed the opti recently and I'm thinking this may be a fuel issue. Just to be sure, I replaced the fuel filter - Still won't start. I rented a fuel pressure gauge from the local auto parts store and I'm attempting to check my pressure for the first time.
I'm having a tough time locating my schrader valve. All the articles I came across said on 93's, it was on the passenger side fuel rail. I noticed something that looks similar (with no cap) on my drivers side rail. Is this the correct spot to check for fuel pressure?
Also, any tips for a newbie on the procedure? I'm hoping this test will confirm it's the fuel pump so I can begin tackling it. When I turn the key, I can hear the fuel pump engage. However, after I replaced the fuel filter & primed the car a few times - the pump seemed to become much weaker sounding after the second and third key turns.
Thank you so much in advance
