    Fuel Pressure Testing For A CFI Engine

    What tools/procedures are required for testing the fuel pressure on a CFI engine? It's for my brother's Topaz and I do not believe it has a Schrader Valve for a test port.

      My 85's CFI unit had a psi test valve on it, near the injectors inside the air cleaner.
      If the one you're working on does not, a fancy fuel psi tester kit should have attachments for carbs that will let you hook into the CFI fuel lines.

        Yeah, it has the modern high pressure fuel lines but no test port that I know of.

          there may be a fancy test fitting that subs for the fuel filter to get you out to the gauge, or that threads between the CFI unit and the feed line.

            I've seen many adapters, in some kits, but not sure what would work for this car. Know there HAS to be one as the dealers (and others) had to have a way to test it. A picture or diagram would be sweet if anyone has one.
