I did your recommended fuel pressure check thing. I bought all the materials at Home Depot. However, something does not seem quite right. When I start my car, I am getting less than 2 psi of pressure. Shouldn't it be more like 35 psi? I have guage tapped into a T connector that taps into the line comming out of the fuel filter and into the fuel rail. Only, when I pinch the line(after the T) can I get the pressure reading to jump up. With it pinched, it could easily rise above 60 psi? What the deal here? Am I tapping into the right location? Guage messed up?

Alright, this is weird ->
I have the Vortech fuel pump setup up to be on all the time. If I disconnect it and turn my engine on, the pressure reads about 42psi. Even when the engine is off, the pressure reads about 38. What is the Vortech fuel pump doing that relieves the pressure just after the filter? Now, what is the best place to tap in and read fuel pressure?

Thanks
