If you can not find the part at an auto shop you could pull another fuel rail from a scrap yard and cut it.

Then use a hose and hose clamps to mate it to the pressure gauge.

There are no fuel pressure test ports provided. You would have to either "T" into the system at a quick connect joint, or maybe clamp the tester hose to the steel pipe that comes up to the firewall --without the plastic tubing or fuel rail connected, or if the tester has a fitting that could slide into a quick connect and seal up that could work too.

Pump problems are extremely rare. These aren't like American cars LOL

Re: Fuel pressure test fitting?

Friends,

I'm also trying to diagnose an issue and could use a place to tee into the fuel line before the injector rail. Can someone link to a coupling or adapter that will allow me to connect to the fuel line quick disconnects to a common test kit? This is the one that can be rented from Autozone's and O'Reilly's stores:

Clamping the gauge to the steel barb at the firewall won't work if you want to get readings while the engine is running. I can't imagine it's too hard to get fuel line pressure reading for our Civics, but I can't find any simple solutions. I'm consigned myself to ordering an adapter/coupling. Thanks for your time!

PS. Pump problems may be rare, but a number of different things could cause low pressure at the rail. Thanks again.
