car will not start. Will start if I spray directly into intake. Suspect fuel pump problem however fuel is getting to rail. How do I check fuel pressure, what tools/equipment do I need and where can I get them

HI there,

first check that the injectors are pulsing. You should hear a click when they fire on cranking, you should also be able to feel them when they open, try this first.

Injectors are pulsing. Just put in new fuel filter, distributor/cap, plugs, wires. Thought problem was oil seal in distributor since fuel system seemed to be ok.

Hi there,

Undo the fuel line at the filter and attach a hose and place it in a jar, crank the engine and check for the fuel flow rate, there should be a port to attach a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail, if not you will have to set up a "T"on the fuel rail and hook up a gauge to check pressure, 'you do have good spark don't you and did you check the injectors with a noid light?
