Hello, I am Danny,

If you want to perform a fuel pressure test the specification for your car should be 43.5 PSI. If you do not have access to a tester your local auto parts stores have a tool loaner program and will rent you one. I have attached a tutorial showing what is involved. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

When you turn the key on without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump running?

This guide will help.
