fuel pressure test for noobs for a 96 ES300
Hello. I'm finding that between the repair manuals,
, and the one thread that I found on testing the pressure on the ES300, I haven't a clue on where to begin.
I went ahead and purchased the fuel pressure gauge in the youtube video, but given the lack of a fuel pressure testing port in my 1996 Lexus ES300, it appears that the pressure gauge will need to be connected in some other fashion. I thought I could look to the manual to help with this but unfortunately, this did not help at all, as I see a set of low res pictures of seemingly vaguely described parts that do not seem to line up with the equipment that I do have.
Any help that can get me closer to beginning my mission to test for a faulty fuel pressure regulator would be much appreciated. Thank you!

The type of fuel pressure tester you have pictured there is a low pressure type. You will need a high pressure type made for fuel injection. You will also need a metric banjo bolt adapter.
