Sorry for the NEWBISH question. Ok, basically, I've been successful today at everything else: 370cc injectors, new fuel lines, nismo fpr, dsm resistor box (THANKS FIZ!), etc. On sohc 89.

However, once I start the engine, the fuel pressure gauge (which is hooked inline right after the nismo fpr) shows 0 psi. It's in about as tight as I can get my lil monkey wrench on it (2 threads still showing). Basically popped from the box, and put into the adapter.

Should I be hooking it up somewhere else? Or is there some simple step I'm missing? Using JEG's 1 & 1/2" fuel pressure gauge (100 psi) & adapter.

The car other that that runs fine... a little rich for now, but fine since I have no access to wideband yet.

Searching owns me...

Pressure gauge needs to be before fpr.

So that means the line I tapped into that is connected directly to the fpr is the return line?

Definitly not the first time I've seen that done.
