Checking for fuel pressure 200 1991

"I do not have equipment to measure fuel pressure."

Of course you don't...

But you can still get an idea whether the fuel delivery system is providing the pressure needed to run the motor if you can turn the pumps on without running the engine.

Jumper connect fuse 6 and fuse 4 (left side of each) to make the pumps run. With the key in your pocket, use a pair of pliers to feel the fuel being returned to the tank from the fuel pressure regulator by quickly squeezing the hose at the exit of it. If the fuel is returning to the tank, there's an assumption the regulator is maintaining the pressure needed to run the car. Of course this is not a "measurement" but a quick way to rule out total lack of fuel pressure that might result from a dead pump circuit.

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse "But why," they asked, as they moved off. "Because", he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."
