I want to see what happens when I press the gas quickly.The redneck way is to use a long piece of hose. I took a different direction. I went a 0-30 from this brand: https://www.glowshiftdirect.com/elite-10-color-100-psi-fuel-pressure-gauge/If you want a cheaper alternative: (Wrong part removed) https://www.ebay.com/itm/176895594944?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143230%26meid%3D5a579eb1d3964f638fde15fc3eb8a2e0%26pid%3D101224%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D176367258697%26itm%3D176895594944%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2332490%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWebV9BertRefreshRankerWithCassiniEmbRecall&_trksid=p2332490.c101224.m-1I can't vouch for the quality, though.

Tuesday at 01:31 PM2 days comment_676053 The Good 'ol Boy way as was told to me by Fastwoman. Cost maybe $10? Don't drive around busy streets while watching the gauge, find a nice backroad and there won't be any issues.

My job (and helping the parts cannon crowd) has conditioned me to have more diagnostic info readily available.

Tuesday at 06:59 PM2 days comment_676061 Seems unlikely that the engine would use so much fuel when accelerating that fuel pressure would drop. Probably learn what you need to know just blipping the throttle by hand with the hood open.You could connect to the cold start valve hose. It's basically "on the rail" and sees what the injectors see. Don't forget to block the hole in the manifold. Never mind, no need to remove the valve. Just the hose. Good luck.
