A few weeks ago I suddenly lost power on the 944 and ran into a no start condition. I swapped the DME relay and got it back working to limp it home and from my investigation it seems like it might just have been a bad ground caused by a bolt that had almost backed out all the way. Anyway, part of my concern at the time was whether or not I actually had fuel pressure but I had no way of telling. I got Lindsey Racing fuel pressure gauge that fits right up to the rail so now I can see in real time what the fuel pressure is. This will help me detect any fuel flow or fuel regulator issues in the future.

NOTE: I decided to remove the fuel pressure gauge shortly after since I didn't feel comfortable adding another potential failure point in case the gauge or fittings fail and starts to leak fuel into the engine bay.
