fuel pressure

okay i dont want to go out and buy a fuel pressure tester because im only going to use it once, so can i use one of those round tire pressure checkers that has the needle that tells you what psi it is?

i just need to see if i get any pressure while trying to start it

go to autozone or a similar place, they lend out tools for free, with a deposit, bring back the tool and get your cash back

they are expensive when you only work around 30 hours a week at mcdonalds and yoru whole paycheck would cover the cost of 1 fuel pressure tester

i should shoot myself

im way too smart to be working at mcdonalds, its so degrading

but i cant get a new job without getting my car running first, its such a vicious circle

Buy it, then return it, say your dad said it wasn't the right meter. Just act stupid, works like a charm.
