Im stumped. How do you check fuel pressure eg hatch
Oki so I have a eg hatch I just dropped a fresh swap in. I also installed a brand new fuel pump in it. It sounds a bit funny when it primes and when I first got it put together it took a minute to get fuel to the fuel rail. I would like to check fuel pressure but I dont know where to hook up a fuel pressure tester to. can someone give me some help? and If you got any ideas on what could be wrong with my car let me know too! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

What fuel pump are you using? Check the voltage going to the pump and make sure its enough to power the pump. For the tester it depends on what type you have but you could pull the return line off and T into that.

Easiest way is to just get a fuel pressure gauge which is like $30 bux and make sure it comes with the fitting onto the fuel filter.

That is what I mean, the kit that comes with the fittings and they are metric.
You can take the fuel gauge off your AEM fuel rail however you would still need the fittings onto the fuel filter.
You can get the entire guage or you can get just the gauge adaptor which is like $8.95 + shipping from eBay.
