Well my 90 Ford quit running again. Cranks but doesn't start. Replaced the tank switch just in case. I have a fuel pressure gauge and spark tester on the way. I'm thinking the rear fuel pump went out. Front has been out.
With the key on, push in the schrader valve at the back of the fuel rail. See if fuel comes out with any pressure behind it.
Ok. About to try it. What kind of tool is safe to use to push it in? Need to be plastic or something to avoid damaging it?
Sure. Plastic wood or just your fingernail
Key on, pressed the valve. A little spray at first but mostly drips. Definitely not what I would consider pressure. I'm pretty it has original fuel pumps.
Do you remember what brand you ordered? There's a bunch with mixed reviews.

Nope, But I would rather buy that older car/truck that has solid bones and spend upwards of $8000 fixing all of the wear, tear, mechanical issues and electrical gremlins, than spending my life savings on a new POS that runs on plastic, computer code, and the whims of the manufacturer.
Oh wait, I did just that. And now it's my daily driver and I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a cross country road trip.
I just ordered the cheapest chinesium specials off of eBay.
