I have 2001 camaro with 3.8 and have codes p0171,174,300. I would like to check the fuel pressure but cant find the test port to hookup. Anyone with picture or diagram where located? thanks

craby, appreciate the response, I have checked fuel pressure in several vehicles, but after extensive search for test port both above and under the whole bottom side I cant find it. Maybe there is not one and I may have to splice one in like some older vehicles.

chevcamaro, I know what a schrader valve is, I have tested many vehicles, but I cant find it on this vehicle. Maybe I need new glasses.

Doesn't your fuel rail look like this one? The valve is in the upper left: Camaro 3.8 Fuel Rail
