Where the Heck is the Fuel Pressure Test Fitting?
For the first time yesterday, I got a chance to look really closely under the hood of my new GT. I could not find a fuel pressure test port ANYWHERE. I found the evap test port with no trouble, but the fuel pressure fitting was nowhere to be seen. It is typically on one of the fuel rails, but it is not on there. It MUST be somewhere! Are they so confident that a fuel pressure problem will NEVER be encountered, that they don't bother?
I hope that I don't need to use it EVER, but odds are that it will be necessary at one time or another. I keep my cars many years and stack up the miles. The car I replaced with my GT has 298,000 miles and the one before that had 533,000.

Try the OBDII port you can log fuel pressure, otherwise you will need a $60 fuel rail adapter to put a fuel pressure sensor between the fuel rail and the fuel pressure sensor.

Thanks for the response.
I have OBDII software from EASE Diagnostics, but I don't have it for Ford. The only Fords that I work on are my own. I guess it is safe to say that a scanner will give you real time fuel pressure. Is that true?
Thanks again.

Yes it will give you real time information, but you can do the same thing with an XCal2 and a laptop which to most people is an essential mod to get the most out of these cars anyways.
